[EURO-Discuss] NomCom - deadline for applications 22 March 2019

Tue Mar 12 05:38:16 UTC 2019

Dear Erich,

thank you very much for this. I note that this year, the NomCom is
looking for:

  * Three members of the ICANN Board of Directors.
  * One member of the PTI Board of Directors.
  * Three regional representatives to the At-Large Advisory Committee
    (ALAC) – one from the Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands region,
    one from the Latin America and Caribbean Islands region, one from
    the Africa region.
  * Two members of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council.
  * One member of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO)
    Council.

You will note that this year, no ALAC representative comes up for
renewal in the European region. But all of the other positions outlined
above are open for applicants from our region.

One of the duties of NomCom members is to act as a "head-hunter" looking
for the best candidates that they might know both personally, but also
in their region's footprint.

For this, NomCom members need your help: if you know of any potentially
suitable candidate, please get in touch with them and suggest that they
apply. Having a larger pool of candidates helps with skill diversity -
and I remind you that the NomCom is in charge of balancing the
committees to which they appoint people, whether it is to resolve a
geographical imbalance, a gender imbalance or indeed a skill-set imbalance.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
