SUBJECT: Call for Membership of 2017 BCEC and BMSPC

	Dear All,

 To prepare for the selection of the Board Member selected by At-Large
to be seated at the October 2017 Annual General Meeting, Alan
Greenberg, the Chair of the ALAC, has asked staff to make an immediate
call for members of the two groups who will be responsible for moving
the process forward.

 According to the ALAC Rules of Procedure (2016) (see:
http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-07 [14]), the two groups are the 2017
Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) and the 2017 Board
Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC). Please see ALAC Rules of
Procedure (2016-07) Section D.19 - Procedure for Making the Selection
to fill Seat 15 on the ICANN Board.

THE DEADLINE FOR APPLYING TO BE MEMBERS OF BOTH GROUPS IS 23:59 UTC ON
TUESDAY, 23 AUGUST 2016.  

	 If you are interested, or if you wish to nominate someone else,
please send a note to At-Large staff at staff at atlarge.icann.org [15]
specifying which committee(s) the application or nomination is for and
CITING ANY APPLICABLE EXPERIENCE by the deadline.   

	A record of all applications and nominations will be posted to either
the BMSPC Membership Selection 2017 Workspace (see: 
https://community.icann.org/x/oAysAw [16]) or the BCEC Membership
Selection 2017 Workspace (see:  https://community.icann.org/x/hgysAw
[17]) as appropriate. The full At-Large Board Member 2017 Selection
Workspace is available at: https://community.icann.org/x/CAWsAw [18]).

	The RALO leadership is requested to send a list of their RALO's
supported candidates for each group to the Chair of the ALAC by 23:59
UTC Tuesday, 30 August 2016.

 The ALAC will name the final membership soon after. 

	The details of the two groups are:

 1)      Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC)

 According to Article 19.2 of the ALAC Rules of Procedure (2016):

 "The ALAC shall name a Board Member Selection Process Committee
(BMSPC) which shall oversee the entire selection process including the
election culminating the process but excluding those responsibilities
specifically retained by the ALAC or given to the Board Candidate
Evaluation Committee. The composition of the BMSPC will be regionally
balanced and the committee will be populated with two representatives
of each region selected by both the ALAC and the RALOs. For each
region, one Alternate member will be selected who can replace a member
from the same region who for whatever reason is not able to fully
participate and such replacement will be at the sole discretion of the
BMSPC Chair in accordance with BMSPC guidelines. The ALAC shall name a
chair of the BMSPC."

 The group is open to both ALAC Members and to At-Large community
members and to RALO Leaders. However, the membership should include
members of the community with significant experience from the 2010 or
2014 Board Director selected by At-Large process.  English will be
the working language of this group.

THE GROUP MUST BE REGIONALLY BALANCED, WITH TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM
EACH OF THE FIVE RALOS. EACH RALO WILL ALSO SELECT AN ALTERNATE MEMBER
IN THE EVENT ONE OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS MUST BE REPLACED. 

	PLEASE NOTE THAT NO MEMBER OF THE BMSPC MAY SUBMIT AN EXPRESSION OF
INTEREST (EOI) FOR THE POSITION OF THE BOARD DIRECTOR SELECTED BY
AT-LARGE.

 The ALAC will select the Chair of the BMSPC.

 The first meeting of the BMSPC will be scheduled for late August or
early September.

 2)    Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC)

 The new ALAC Rules of Procedures state the following on the
composition and task of the BCEC:

 "19.3 The ALAC shall name a Board Candidate Evaluation Committee
(BCEC) to compile an initial slate of candidates for election to Seat
15. A new BCEC consisting of two delegates selected by each of the
RALOs plus a chair selected by the ALAC will be convened for each
Board seat selection process. Each RALO shall also select an Alternate
member who can replace a member from the same region who for whatever
reason is not able to fully participate and such replacement will be
at the sole discretion of the BCEC Chair in accordance with BCEC
guidelines"

 "19.4 The task of the BCEC is to identify applicants who would each
make an excellent Board Director. [19.4.1] Applicant selected by the
BCEC must meet the criteria specified in the ICANN Bylaws Article VI,
Section 3 ( http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws#VI-3
[19]). These criteria include but are not limited to being: a)
accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with
reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and a demonstrated
capacity for thoughtful group decision-making; and b) persons with an
understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential impact of ICANN
decisions on the global Internet community, and committed to the
success of ICANN. Moreover, the Director selected by the At-Large
Community must understand the mission of At-Large and the needs of the
global community of Internet end users."

 "19.5 No member of the electorate (Paragraph 19.10) may
simultaneously serve as a member of the BCEC."

ACCORDING TO 19.5, MEMBERS OF THE ELECTORATE (I.E., MEMBERS OF THE
ALAC AND RALO CHAIRS WHO WILL BE SERVING IN 2017) MAY NOT BE BCEC
MEMBERS. 

	The group must be regionally balanced, with two representatives from
each of the five RALOs. Each RALO will also select an Alternate member
in the event one of the original members must be replaced.

Additionally, no member of the BCEC may submit an Expression of
Interest (EOI) for the position of the Board Director selected by
At-Large.

PLEASE NOTE THAT EXPERIENCE ON THE 2010 OR 2014 BCEC AND/OR ON THE
ICANN NOMINATING COMMITTEE WOULD BE HIGHLY DESIRED. 

	English will be the working language of this group.

 The ALAC will select the Chair of the BCEC.

 The first meeting of the BCEC will be scheduled for late August or
early September.

	Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie
