[registrars] Nominating Committee appointments

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@palage.com>]

The nominating committee is scheduled to meet tomorrow morning. Henning stated that he would be posting a summary of these events after the meeting.

I think registrars should engage in some collective brainstorming to come up with a list of potential candidates.

Best regards,

MIke

> Please note the quick schedule for nominations: The ICANN 
> Nominating Committee (NomCom) is seeking nominations for the 
> Board of Directors, GNSO Council and the At Large Advisory 
> Committee.   The timeline for consideration of candidates for 
> these positions is very short.   The "early" announcement, found 
> below, indicates that a formal call will take place by the end of 
> March.  By the end of April, the window will close on possible 
> candidates to be considered.   The NomCom has indicated that it 
> would like to have candidates nominated for some or all of the 
> bodies by late May or early June.

> 	ICANN plays an important role in promoting stability on the

> are in the interests of intellectual property owners and promote 
> confidence on the Internet.   We hope that you, your organization

>   Because of geographic diversity requirements that apply under

> 
> 	    Greetings from the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). 
>  All but two of the Committee members have been selected and are 
> fully engaged in the Committee's work. NomCom will be selecting 
> individuals to serve as ICANN Board Directors, GNSO Council 
> members, and At Large Advisory Committee members. We aim to 
> complete these selections by the Montreal ICANN meeting in late June 2003.
> 
> 	    At this time NomCom extends an invitation to members of 
> the Internet community to think about the positions to be filled, 
> potential candidates they might recommend, and their own interest 
> in volunteering a Statement of Interest in being considered.
> 
> 	    By the end of March NomCom expects to be ready to 
> extend a Formal Call for Recommendations and Statements of 
> Interest for the positions to be filled. When that Formal Call is 
> issued, it will describe the specific information needed by 
> NomCom in these communications, and will describe how the process 
> will work. NomCom plans to complete the development of most of 
> its procedures by the end of March/early April. The NomCom 
> procedures will be published on the NomCom's homepage 
> <http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm>.
> 
> 	    In the meantime, members of Internet Community are 
> encouraged to review the relevant sections in the Bylaws about 
> the (1) ICANN Mission and Core Values, (2) the roles of 
> Directors, GNSO Council members, and ALAC members;
> 
> 	(3) the criteria, qualifications, and eligibility factors 
> for these positions; (4) the Nominating Committee; and (5) the 
> Transition to the New Board so that their Recommendations and 
> Statements of Interest will be well focused and clearly meet the 
> applicable requirements.
> 
> 	     As you will see below, NomCom is working under 
> difficult time constraints.  We will be grateful for your 
> cooperation in responding promptly to the Formal Call for 
> Recommendations and Statements of Interest when it is issued.

> 	II.  Charge Adopted by the Nominating Committee 
> 
> 	"The Nominating Committee of ICANN is responsible for the 
> selection of all ICANN Directors except the President and those 
> Directors selected by ICANN's Supporting Organizations, and for 
> such other selections as are set forth in the Bylaws.  For the 
> selection of Directors, the Bylaws set forth criteria for 
> selection, additional qualifications, international 
> representation, diversity, terms of service, and eligibility 
> factors.  Certain of these criteria are also applicable for the 
> other selections the Nominating Committee is asked to make.  The 
> Bylaws also set forth criteria for selection of Nominating 
> Committee Delegates, and state some specific requirements for the 
> GNSO Council and At Large Advisory Committeel (ALAC) selections 
> made by the Nominating Committee.
> 
> 	The Bylaws also state that the Nominating Committee shall 
> adopt such operating procedures as it deems necessary, which 
> shall be published on the Website.
> 
> 	The Nominating Committee is designed to function 
> independently from the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and 
> Advisory Committees.  Nominating Committee members act only on 
> behalf of the interests of the global Internet community and 
> within the scope of the ICANN mission and responsibilities 
> assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws.
> 
> 	Members contribute to the Nominating Committee both their 
> understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole 
> and their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests 
> of the Internet constituencies which have appointed them.  The 
> challenge for the Nominating Committee is to integrate these 
> perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although 
> appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN entities, 
> individual Nominating Committee members are not accountable to 
> their appointing constituencies.  Members are, of course, 
> accountable for adherence to the Bylaws and for compliance with 
> the rules and procedures established by the Nominating Committee."
