[NCUC-EC] Finance Committee - NCUC appointment.

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Below follows the draft call for FC representative. As soon as you approve
I will send it to the list.

Dear members,

NCUC needs to appoint a Constituency representative to the NCSG Finance
Committee. The terms for FC representatives are of one year and the time
has come for NCUC to appoint its representative.  Therefore, this present
call is open for applications until 25 February and the EC will deliberate
on the appointee with advice from NCSG Chair until 28 February.

As per NCUC Operating Procedures [1], this selection process can choose a
candidate with the following characteristics:

a. Has a depth of expertise in financial management, forensic accounting,
and/or budgeting.

b. Candidates should also highlight their practical understanding of
financial accounts, risk management, and understanding of auditing
processes, as well as any experience with grant seeking and/or fundraising.

Additional general requirements

- The candidate must submit an updated Statement of Interest (SoI).

- It is desirable for the candidate to have participated in public comment
efforts, and be an active member in one or more Working Groups (WG) within
ICANN or generally been contributing by being involved with outreach and
NCUC events.
