[NCUC-DISCUSS] 2017 NomCom cycle opens for applications

[William Drake]

Hi everyone

The 2017 NomCom application request form is now live. The deadline for applications is 21 March 2017.
 
We are inviting applications and recommendations for the following positions:

• Two members of the ICANN Board of Directors
• Three representatives to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) – one each from Africa, Asia/Australia/Pacific Islands and Latin America/Caribbean regions
• Two members of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
• One member of the Council of the Country-Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO)

Note that this announcement does not cover the PTI Board Positions; the application period for that will be launched separately in late January.
