Hi

As NCUC’s representative on the 2017 NomCom it gives me great pleasure to
belatedly announce what you already know (since I don't happen to live on
California time….we were supposed to get a head’s up before they posted the
announcement but whatever).  So yes, the NomCom has appointed to the ICANN
Board our own Avri Doria as well as Sarah Deutsch, who is a Board member of
NCUC member the Electronic Frontiers Foundation https://www.eff.org
/about/staff/sarah-deutsch.  Together with Matt Shears joining the Board as
the NonContracted House rep, this means that we now have some first rate
people on the Board who can bring to the decision making process an
openness to the concerns of the noncommercial users (in the context of
their chief responsibility to the Internet and the ICANN community as a
whole).  This is a very good thing.

We also appointed some very good people to the other positions on the ALAC,
ccNSO, and GNSO.  From a local tribal standpoint, I would draw particular
attention to Marita Moll of NCUC joining the ccNSO, and Carlos Gutierrez of
NPOC/NCUC/NCSG to the GNSO Council.   So lots of civil society voices in
the mix.  And there are other interesting people as well, e.g. Syed Ismail
Shah (GNSO Council) reportedly has been a strong voice for an open Internet
in Pakistan, and Hadia Elminiawi (Africa), Kaili Kan (Asia, Australia,
Pacific Islands), and Richardo Holmquist (Latin America, Caribbean Islands)
should be good for the ALAC.

So congratulations to all the selectees.  I assume ICANN will get their
bios up on the website shortly.

You may note that the announcement made no mention of the two appointees to
the PTI Board.  Apparently ICANN has not finished the due diligence
background checks on them yet, so another announcement is forthcoming
shortly.

Cheers

Bill

Not really sure which list to send this to because Avri is really an ICANN
community person (literarily everywhere so to speak) but I think here is
more appropriate.

As we use to say when a community member crosses to the Board "we probably
just lost Avri" ;-) but I think it's a gain for both ICANN Org and
community.

Congratulations to one of the encyclopedia of ICANN, congratulations to
Carlos as well and every other person selected to the various positions.
