Dear Erich,<br>
<br>
thank you very much for this. I note that this year, the NomCom is
looking for:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Three members of the <abbr title="Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> Board of Directors.</li>
<li>One member of the PTI Board of Directors.</li>
<li>Three regional representatives to the At-Large <abbr
title="Advisory Committee">Advisory Committee</abbr> (<abbr
title="At-Large Advisory Committee">ALAC</abbr>) – one from
the Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands region, one from the
Latin America and Caribbean Islands region, one from the Africa
region.</li>
<li>Two members of the Generic Names <abbr title="Supporting
Organization" class="">Supporting Organization</abbr> (<abbr
title="Generic Names Supporting Organization" class="">GNSO</abbr>)
Council.</li>
<li>One member of the Country Code Names <abbr title="Supporting
Organization">Supporting Organization</abbr> (<abbr
title="Country Code Names Supporting Organization">ccNSO</abbr>)
Council.</li>
</ul>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<font color="#ff0000"><br>
For this, NomCom members need your help: <font color="#000000">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.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

required by applicants seeking multiple positions and made
revisions to address bias concerns. In addition to seeking
information about applicants’ ICANN engagement, the revised
form seeks information about applicants’ </span><span

Internet development and governance experience. It also
