[NCUC-DISCUSS] URGENT: NomCom Delegate Applications for the 2025 Term

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Dear all,

It has come to our attention that the NCUC needs to appoint a new delegate
for the 2025 term of NomCom. Please submit your expression of interest
by *Wednesday,
02 October* to andrea.glandon at icann.org. Please view the NomCom Operating
Procedures here
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/nomcom2021-operating-procedures-2021-02-02-en>
to
view the obligations of the NomCom delegate.



To support the staggering of NomCom terms, the current NCUC delegate will
only serve a 1-year term, hence the need to appoint a new delegate. You can
see the terms below.

*Specific criteria and requirements regarding the NomCom composition
and NomCom delegates are outlined in the ICANN Bylaws in Article 8
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8>.  *



Attached is the Job Description for NomCom Delegates. Additionally, please
note the following as you select and appoint your delegate to
the 2025 NomCom:

   - Ineligibility for Service – Current or future ICANN employees or paid
   ICANN consultants (including Ombudsman) are excluded from consideration for
   eligibility as described in Article 8, Section 8.9 of ICANN’s Bylaws
   <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8>.
   - 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.
   - The delegate should be able to join monthly teleconferences. Note: The
   NomCom's workload *will increase* significantly during the candidate

   time as well (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up to
   three hours).
   - All NomCom delegates should have the ability to travel to and
   participate in ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when requested
