Those selected will take up their positions after the end of ICANN’s Annual
General Meeting, which will take place during ICANN63, scheduled for 20
October – 25 October 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.

The Nominating Committee is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion
of ICANN’s leadership. The Nominating Committee is mandated to ensure that
ICANN’s overall leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills,
experience, and perspective. Selectees should have the following basic
criteria:

   - Have integrity, objectivity, and sound judgment.
   - Support decision-making within groups.
   - Work effectively in English.
   - Understand ICANN’s mission and operation.
   - Are committed to ICANN’s success.
   - Have experience in world affairs.
   - Contribute to cultural, professional, and geographic expertise.
   - Can work long and hard, generally as volunteers, for the global public
   trust.

An Independent Body at the Community’s Service

Zahid Jamil, the Chair of the 2018 Nominating Committee, shared the
following statement about the 2018 Nominating Committee and its results:
“I am pleased to announce that the 2018 Nominating Committee has completed
the task assigned to it by the ICANN community. The selection of all
positions shown above was finalized by the Nominating Committee at ICANN62
in Panama City, Panama. Selections for all Board positions were decided
unanimously.

I want to thank the Nominating Committee for its work and dedication, in
working constructively and efficiently together to reach final agreement.
I would also like to thank the Chairs of the Advisory Committees,
Supporting Organizations, Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies for their
support with outreach and recruitment as well as theirs and the Board’s
assistance in identifying criteria for the positions to be filled by the
NomCom this year. I encourage the community to continue its outreach
activity to assist the 2019 NomCom in recruiting candidates for selection
next year.

It is my belief that the improvements of the process implemented this year,
in part based upon recommendations of previous years, played an integral
role in ensuring the efficiency as well as the integrity and resilience of
the Nomcom. In particular, the effect of the face-to-face meeting, the
early planning, setting criteria in advance, focus on recruitment
resources, greater communication (including multiple visits by and to the
ACs and SOs by the NomCom) played a very constructive role - just to
mention a few.
I would also like to thank the Chair of the Board, the Board Governance
Committee, the General Counsel’s Office, and in particular the stellar
staff that supported the NomCom this year. Last but not least I would like
to thank Damon Ashcraft and Hans Petter Holen for supporting me on the
Leadership Team throughout the year.”

During ICANN63 in Barcelona, the Nominating Committee will present the
ICANN community with a final report detailing its work and providing
in-depth data on the applications received.

About ICANN

ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global
Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That
address must be unique, so computers know where to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world.
ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation
with a community of participants from all over the world.
