[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC NomCom representative, 2022 Term - Call for Applications

[Raphael Beauregard-Lacroix]

Dear All,

NCUC has to appoint a new delegate to the Nominating Committee for the
coming 2022 term. As you may know, NCUC's NomCom appointee is Wolfgang
Kleinwächter who will now finish his second term. *As per the ICANN Bylaws,
Wolfgang may not seek a new term as the NCUC NomCom rep.*

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Wolfgang for his time on
the NomCom, especially given the public health circumstances since March
2020, and his regular reporting to the community during those two years!

Do note that most of what will follow now is taken from the 2021 job
description provided by the NomCom secretariat.

The NomCom is "responsible for nominating all Directors except the
President and those Directors nominated by Decisional Participants; for
nominating two directors of PTI (in accordance with the articles of
incorporation and bylaws of the Public Technical Identifiers body); and for
such other selections as are set forth in these Bylaws,"

*Eligibility*

"NomCom voting delegates shall serve one-year terms and may serve at most
two successive one-year terms, after which at least two years must elapse
before the individual is eligible to serve another term."

"No person who is an employee of or paid consultant to ICANN (including the
Ombudsman) shall simultaneously serve on the Nominating Committee."

*Responsibility and Duties*

▪ Act independently and in the larger public interest and not act as
representatives of, nor lobby or advance the interest of any particular
Organization, Group or Committee, in particular with respect to the
assessment and selection of candidates
▪ Engage in outreach, recruitment, and information gathering
▪ Read the submitted and gathered information about each candidate under
consideration; to participate in both deliberations about individual
candidates and construction of slates of candidates that will fulfill the
requirements for each of the leadership bodies for which the NomCom selects
delegates
▪ Participate in NomCom teleconferences
▪ Work diligently with NomCom colleagues toward an overall consensus on the
best possible group of candidates to be selected
▪ Adhere to the ICANN Code of Conduct
▪ Provide brief reports to its respective SO/AC on relevant issues
considered by the Nominating Committee, as Nominating Committee
confidentiality permits.

*Time Commitment*

▪ The member should be able to join *monthly* teleconferences (typically
15:00 or 16:00 UTC). Note that the committee's *workload usually increases
significantly during Apr/May/June* 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.
▪ All NomCom delegates *should be able to attend all ICANN meetings* and
all officially scheduled NomCom committee meetings

When attending ICANN Meetings, attendance at scheduled NomCom meetings is
mandatory. In the event of schedule conflicts with other volunteer
activities, priority should be given to the NomCom meetings.

*Selection Criteria*

The 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;

commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial

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.”


*The NCUC Executive Committee is in charge of the selection of the
candidates among applicants.* Please write a statement of interest

   commitments
