Yes Bill. You keep going! Indeed Bill is a life force.
Thanks so much Ed for this history. Very very important to remember where NCUC has from. I believe there is alot that still needs to be done. I am confident though that NCUC will continue to be more stronger.

Peter,

I want to thank you personally and the rest of the EC for running such and open and transparent selection process while selecting the NomCom reprresentatiuve. We're a work in progress as a constituency but I'm gratified that all of you eventually stepped forward to ensure a fair and inclusive nominating and selection procedure. We certainly have more work to do in this area but your response to criticisms that were made were promptly responded to  and certainly bodes well for future years. Job well done guys. Thank you.

William Drake is the single most qualified candidate for this position and has been for the three and a half years I have been involved with the NCUC. It is to his credit that Bill answered the call to Chair the NCUC these past years when others decided not to. Ideally Bill should have been appointed to NomCom much earlier. It's a perfect place for his skill set and his personality.

When Bill assumed the Chair position of the EC three years ago, with myself, Norbert, Wilson, Carlosa and Tapani as his regional reps, the NCUC existed in name only. Our web site was a "temporary" site constructed 10 years earlier and was rarely updated. This list, the NCUC Discuss list, did not exist. There were no brochures, our meetings were dull affairs, the EC did little or nothing, there was no travel policy. The fact we have all ofd these today can be directly attributed to the determination, drive and leadership of Bill Drake. Thanks Bill for all you have done.

NomCom is a tough job. We are greatly outnumbered there. Still, I'm quite optimistic that the life force that is Bill Drake is going to equalise things for us a bit. Congratulations Bill for the selection and I look forward to the great candidates you'll be doing your best to select as ICANN transitions to a new era. Thanks for stepping up yet again and to be willing to do this rather arduous job.

Kind Regards,

Ed Morris

Dear NCUCers,

On behalf of the EC, I am pleased to announce that William Drake is appointed by EC as the NCUC Delegate to the ICANN 2016 Nominating Committee.

As you have noted, as of 15th, August, we received two candidate SOIs from Remmy and Bill. Afterwards, with Remmy sent us a withdrawal of request, we then chose to appoint the only remaining candidate-Bill as the delegate representing NCUC in NomCom. Congratulations to Bill.

And we also thank Remmy for expressing interest in this selection. Hope see you do so in future around NCUC and ICANN community.

Thanks for everybody's time and attention.

Best Regards

Peter Green

Please note the following as you select and appoint your delegate to the 2016 NomCom: 

	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

Delegates to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be:

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 objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee responsibilities;

6. Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and spoken English.”

	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).

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.

The NomCom have guideline and procedure documents for reference that provide additional information about the work of the NomCom.
