[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC NomCom appointee - Call for interest

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear All,

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 2021 Term.
As you may know, NCUC's NomCom appointee is Wolfgang Kleinwachter who has
just finished his first term (FY20) as our delegate to the Nominating
Committee.

The NomCom position is very important, as the independent committee is
"tasked with selecting members of the Board of Directors and other key
positions within ICANN's structure as are set forth in the Bylaws".
Additionally, ICANN bylaws defines 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):

Additionally, please note the following as you select and appoint your
delegate to the 2021 NomCom:

   -

   The ICANN community is diverse and the composition of the NomCom should
   reflect this in order to fulfill its mission.
   -

   NomCom delegates should have a high-level network of contacts essential
   to candidate recruitment.
   -

   Eligibility Exception - Current ICANN employees or paid ICANN
   consultants (including Ombudsman) are excluded from consideration for
   eligibility as described in Article 8, Section 8.2 of ICANN’s Bylaws (
   https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8).
   -

   The delegate should be able to join monthly teleconferences. Note that
   the NomCom's workload will increase significantly during the candidate
   assessment process. Conference calls are held more frequently during this
   time as well (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up to
   three hours).
   -

   All NomCom members should have the ability to travel and participate in
   ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when requested (travel and hotel
   accommodations will be provided for all meetings).


During the 2021 term, the committee will be selecting (a) three new members
of the ICANN Board of Directors, as well as (b) three regional
representatives to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), (b) two members
of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council and (d) one
member of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council.

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
June 18th 2020, deadline for application submission is 23h00 UTC.

Announcement will be made on June 19th 2020.


best,
