Dear friends and colleagues in NCUC

After due consideration of entreaties from respected members of our
dear constituency I wish to withdraw my nomination for the above
subject post.

I also urge friends to join me in endorsing Bill candidacy.

Thanks and God blessings

Subject: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Continuing to Solicit Nominations of NCUC
Delegate to the ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee

Hello folks，

Following Bill's forwarding of the following email from the Nominating
Committee on 4, August,  it has been made clear that NCUC will have to
nominate someone to replace Brenden (a farewall to Brenden, thanks for
your hard work) to fill in the NomCom position representing NCUC.

Now, on behalf of the EC, I am sending this follow-up email to
announce that we continue to solicit nominations or self-nominations
of NCUC delegate to the 2016 NomCom.

According to James：
With regards to the NomCom the position will be filled as per the
bylaws, Peter Green I believe is compiling a shortlist for the EC to
consider.

Yes，we do have a shortlist now to discuss on the EC.

For your information, currently, we have received a self-nominaiton
from Remmy (Remmy has submitted a Statement of Interest and the EC has
noted) and nominations of Bill. ( Bill has confirmed of being
nominated with the EC, and he has asked for a recusal in the selection
process. )

So we have two candidates now. With this follow-up, we also continue
to accpet other self-nominations and nominations.

As per the deadline to submit the result--Friday, 21 August 2015, we
have 10 days to go.
Since it has been several days after the open call, we now propose the
following time framework:
a continued 5-day nomination period, a 5-day EC discussion period. So
the following timeline proposal for your consideration:

10, August---- 15, AugustSoliciting nominations of candidates
16, August---- 20, August,EC Discussion
21, AugustAnnoucning Selection Result in the NCUC-Dicuss mail-list,
and Submitting the result to ICANN.

Please note: according to folks' suggestions, the NCUC Bylaws Revision
is another process the current EC or the next EC will be working on,
the NomCom NCUC delegate selection will be subject to current NCUC
Bylaws.As per 6 in Section F of  NCUC Bylaws:F. The Executive
Committee shall have the following duties:6.  Appoint the
Constituency’s representatives to the ICANN Nominating Committee by
majority vote, with at least four members voting.Please  also be noted
that the EC will refer to the following criteria in selecting the
NomCom NCUC delegate.:
Specific criteria for selecting a delegate to the NomCom is provided
in Article VII, Section 4 of ICANN’s Bylaws
(http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VII)

 “Section 4. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE DELEGATES

1. Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence,
with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and with
experience and competence with collegial large group decision-making;

2. Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet
community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN;

3. Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely
and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities;

4. Persons who are neutral and objective, without any fixed personal
commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial

impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who are

NomCom delegates should have a high level network of contacts
essential to candidate recruitment (and we hope the NCUC) - as sending
entity will support your delegate and help them with outreach).

consultant to ICANN (including the Ombudsman) shall simultaneously

Article VII, Section 2 of ICANN’s Bylaws

significantly during Apr/May/June 2016 when the candidate assessment
process will be at its busiest. Conference calls are held more
frequently (typically weekly) during this time as well.
The person must be able to attend the NomCom selection meeting in late
June 2016.
The person should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented committee.

Thanks for everyone's intensive attenion and discussion which has
helped to build the belief that we are ever more engaged as a
diversified Constituency.
