member of the GNSO Council, and 1 member of the ccNSO Council. 

 

All 2016 NomCom members should be able to attend the first formal meeting of

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;

5. Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact
of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who are willing to
serve as volunteers, without compensation other than the reimbursement of
certain expenses; and

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).

consultant to ICANN (including the Ombudsman) shall simultaneously serve in
any of the Nominating Committee positions as described in Article VII,

significantly during Apr/May/June 2016 when the candidate assessment process

weekly) during this time as well.
