As you may know, NCUC's NomCom appointee is Wolfgang Kleinwachter who has just finished his first term (FY20) as our delegate to the Nominating Committee.

Additionally, ICANN bylaws defines 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;
> 4. Persons who are neutral and objective, without any fixed personal commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee responsibilities;
> 5. Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who are 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.”

> Other criteria (retrieved from the Nominating Committee email):
> Additionally, please note the following as you select and appoint your delegate to the 2021 NomCom:
> 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.
> Eligibility Exception - Current ICANN employees or paid ICANN consultants (including Ombudsman) are excluded from consideration for eligibility as described in Article 8, Section 8.2 of ICANN’s Bylaws (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8).
> The delegate should be able to join monthly teleconferences. Note that the NomCom's workload will increase significantly during the candidate assessment process. Conference calls are held more frequently during this time as well (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up to three hours).
> All NomCom members should have the ability to travel and participate in ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when requested (travel and hotel accommodations will be provided for all meetings).

This, year, given the recent incidents in both the NCUC and NCSG list, I would like to ask you what do you prefer: (A)directly nominate him and inform the list that we followed up with this approach given his good work; or (B) open a call with a 7 day deadline, less than the 14 days we normally adopt, and see if anyone else applies for the position, until June 18th.
