[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Delegate to the Nominating Committee - Call for Applications

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear NCUC,

As you may know, NCUC's NomCom representative, Anriette von Esterhuysen has
just finished her second term (FY18 and Fy19) as our delegate to the
Nominating Committee.   Now, NCUC has to appoint a new delegate to NomCom.
Therefore, this is a call for application for NCUC members to apply for
this position for the 2019-2020 Term starting after July 2018 as stated in
the previous calls:

The NomCom position is very important, as the independent committee is
"tasked with selecting eight members of the Board of Directors and other
key positions within ICANN's structure as are set forth in the Bylaws".
Additionally, ICANN bylaws define some specific criteria for all NomCom
delegates that should be taken into consideration by candidates interested
in joining the committee:

“Section 8.4. 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.”

Other criteria (retrieved from the Nominating Committee email):

   -

   Eligibility Exception - No person who is an employee of or paid a
   consultant to ICANN (including the Ombudsman) shall simultaneously serve in
   any of the Nominating Committee positions as described in Article 8,
   Section 8.2 of ICANN’s Bylaws (
   https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8).
   -

   The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically
   15:00 or 16:00 UTC).  Note that the committee's workload will increase
   significantly during Apr/May/June 2020 when the candidate assessment
   process will be at its busiest. Conference calls are held more frequently
   (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up to 3 hours)
   during this time as well.
   -

   The person should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented
   committee.
   -

   All 2020 NomCom members should be able to attend the following ICANN
   meetings (travel and hotel accommodations will be provided for all
   meetings):
   -

      ICANN66 | Montréal, Canada: 2-7 November 2019 (1st official meeting
      of 2020 NomCom)
      -

      ICANN67 | Cancún, Mexico: 7-12 March 2020 (outreach and training
      meeting)
      -

      TBD April 2020 (assessment meeting)
      -

      ICANN68 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 22-25 June 2020 (selection meeting)


As you gather from the criteria above, it is very important that the
applicants for this position be active members of NCUC, involved with ICANN
and its various working groups and show proven interest in NCUC work and
understand the dynamics of ICANN and groups existing within ICANN.

Please write a statement of interest indicating how you fulfill the
criteria mentioned in ICANN bylaws and tell us about your experience at
NCUC and submit to me chair at ncuc.org and cc  maryam.bakoshi at icann.org by
July 1st 2019.

Announcement will be before 4th July 2019.
