[NCUC-EC] NCUC Delegate to the 2015 Nominating Committee

Wed Aug 13 16:33:27 CEST 2014

Dear EC members,

I am writing to confirm that, if the EC desires, I am willing to stay on as
the NCUC's 2015 Nomcom representative.

As you know, I joined the process midstream last year as Rafik's
replacement. Despite the late start, I feel I was able to make a positive
impact from recruiting applicants to selecting individuals to positions.
Selections are expected to be announced on the ICANN website August 15.

Next year is an important cycle for Nomcom. It includes selections for 3
board seats and 2 NCAs to the GNSO, as well as other positions. It is a
great opportunity to shape the organization's direction and outcomes. If
you choose to reappoint me, please let me know of specific people you think
we should approach about applying, as well as opportunities where we might
do general outreach. I'd also be happy to talk with you about the process
(within the limits of my confidentiality agreement) and how NCUC can best
engage it.

Kind regards,

-- Brenden
