[NCUC-DISCUSS] [2022-NomCom] NomCom Selection Announcement for ICANN Leadership Positions

Thu Aug 18 10:36:07 CEST 2022

@Stephanie, your conclusion nails it: we cannot just sit and blame Nomcom while not working to make sure or at least encourage people who tick the boxes to apply.

So for the future:

Let’s analyze the pertinence and accuracy of the boxes to tick and make amendments if needed
Then let’s see how we could reach out to people or engage more in those positions
Finally, we can be able to assess the effectiveness of the Nomcom selection process. And if we have valuable candidates who are NOT selected we’ll solid arguments: box ticked, gender diversity, ethnography, language, geography, background, etc.

Best regards

> Thanks for your detailed response, Peter, and for all the hard work.  We will have to see if we can encourage more people who "tick the boxes" to apply, I guess.  It is our job to do outreach too, we cannot just sit back and blame Nomcom for not finding candidates to apply.  It is tough these days, because there are many many places to volunteer our time for good causes.

>> Thanks Kathy and other folks. It was really a hard task to select few from over 60 applications that was received.
>> @Kaswesha Your concern is valid but you will agree with me that having to select few from many applications is more challenging, hence, need for quality, I mean quality application.
>> 
>> @Farzaneh NomCom evaluates based on the criteria provided and the quality of application that was received. Each of the selected candidate was weighed against such criteria that was provided to the NomCom. My apologies as I won’t be able to go in-depth because of the confidential nature of the NomCom. But I can tell you that we have excellent female candidates but unfortunately did not tick all boxes.
>> 
>> I feel the concern that rotating people in and out might not necessarily contribute to community vitality, I guess that goes beyond the remit of NomCom. This is a concern that the community might need to find a way to address. And for the IPC members being overrepresented on the GNSO council should be a concern. It was not part of the criteria received by the NomCom for the selection.
>> 
>> Yes, I agree that NomCom need to do more outreach. But again, how do we address the issue of poor application and the concern of losing potential candidate of not reapplying for NomCom positions bearing in mind that NomCom has few positions to fill.
>> 
>> @Stephenie, You will see that from the selected candidates we have fresh blood that have no ICANN experience and background. NomCom will learn from this and ensure more outreach is done.
>> 
>> @Shreedeep In my personal opinion, we need to encourage more quality application. And encourage those that is applying to put in more effort into the application. Again, NomCom is limited based on the number of positions to be filed.
>> 
>> @Gleen Diversity is key but should we slide competency under the carpet because of diversity. I can tell you that NomCom was very concerned of the diversity on the board as well as in every stakeholder group.
>> 
>> @Rafik You are not mistaking.  What I can only say on this is that NomCom was keen on competency and diversity. Reason why we should encourage those that is applying to submit good application. This is not to say that the application received wasn’t good. It is unfortunate that we had to select few from many good applications. It was a tough decision.
>> 
>> @Shah Good question. I guess this might be to the broader ICANN ecosystem to answer and see how to motivate experience folks to apply for GNSO, ATLARGE, ccNSO positions.
>> 
>> @Bruna. Thanks for raising that, it will be communicated. It was sad for NomCom for not seeing female made it to the board. I am sure this would be address going forward.
>> 
>> I would like to thanK every person that responded. It clearly shows our interest in helping ICANN to get better especially that of NomCom process. I am pressed to divulge more information, but I am also constrained by the NomCom confidentiality.

>> I am sorry to be joining this thread later but I happen to agree with Farzaneh that its really unfortunate that we did not have any female board appointee and to also see the regional diversity shrinking as pointed out by Rafik. I understand that other parts of the world might have had to change thair focus and work perspectives during the pandemic and even scale down their engagement with ICANN but thats no excuse for the org to continue experiencing a board constellation that is nowhere near gender parity - and speaking as a female member of the community leadership,  i really hoped that the NomCom had this in mind.
