Thanks, Adam, for this input and indeed, there are
many positions to fill in the coming weeks on behalf of
EURALO.
Regarding the NomCom, there are - besides Desiree
who's second term ends now - Wolfgang (as Vice-Chair)
and Karen Banks from EURALO on the NomCom at the
moment. I don't know whether anybody has already names
of suitable candidates in his/her mind? Favourably from
our ALSes, as Adam mentioned, or other people close to us.
Thank you all for any suggestions and
kind regards,
Wolf

>>Subject: [ALAC-Announce] Appointment Process for Nominating Committee
>>
>>Dear Community:
>>
>>BACKGROUND
>>
>>As you will recall, the ALAC appoints five
>>voting members (known as "Delegates") of the
>>Nominating Committee ("NomCom") of ICANN. Voting
>>members of the NomCom are appointed for a one
>>year term, and may be re-appointed for a further
>>term of one year subject to the requirement
>>under the ICANN By Laws that a voting member may
>>only serve a maximum of two consecutive years.
>>
>>Individuals representing ALAC who served on the
>>2009 Nominating Committee are listed below.
>>Those individuals who have now completed two
>>consecutive terms and may not be reappointed are
>>marked with an asterisk *
>>
>>Khaled Koubaa (Africa)*
>>Hong Xue (Asia, Australasia and Pacific)
>>Matias Altamira Gigena (Latin America and Caribbean)*
>>Desiree Miloshevic (Europe)*
>>Ross Rader (North America)*
>>
>>ICANN¹s Nominating Committee has historically
>>held two face-to-face meetings each year. For
>>the 2009 Nominating Committee, we were able to
>>have the first such meeting after ICANN's Annual
>>General Meeting in Cairo. According to the Chair
>>of the NomCom, accelerating the schedule of the
>>first meeting compared to previous years was
>>really enormously helpful in allowing the
>>Committee to function in an orderly and
>>effective manner.
>>
>>TIMELINE
>>
>>At its 4th August 2009 Meeting, the ALAC defined
>>the following timeline for filling these
>>appointments:
>>
>> * Nominations Open (in each RALO): 5th August
>> * Nominations Close (in each RALO): on or before 25th August
>> * Nomination Acceptance Deadline: on or before 1st September
>> * RALOs to transmit all accepted nominations, with a recommendation
>> of a preferred candidate if the RALO wishes to provide one: on or
>> before 1st September
>> * ALAC Voting Begins: 7th September
>> * ALAC Voting Ends: 14th September
>> * Notification to NomCom of Appointees: 15th September
>>
>>QUALIFICATIONS:
>>
>>Article VII, Section 4 of the Bylaws states that
>>Delegates to the ICANN Nominating Committee
>>shall be:
>>
>> * Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence,
>> with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and with
>> experience and competence with collegial large group decision-making
>> * Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet
>> community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN;
>> * Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely
>> and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities;
>> * Persons who are neutral and objective, without any fixed personal
>> commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or
>> commercial objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee
>> responsibilities;
>> * Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the potential
>> impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet community who
>> are willing to serve as volunteers, without compensation other
>> than the reimbursement of certain expenses; and
>> * Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and spoken
>> English.
>>
>>Nom Com members are expected to:
>>
>> * engage in affirmative outreach and recruitment of excellent candidates
>> * read the submitted and gathered information about each candidate
>> under consideration
>> * participate in Nom Com teleconferences
>> * work diligently with Nom Com colleagues toward an overall
>> consensus on the best possible group of candidates to be selected
>> * adhere to the Code of Ethics - each Member undertakes a written
>> obligation to this effect. The code of ethics may be found at
>> http://nomcom.icann.org/ethics-2009.html.
>> * attend a face-to-face meeting. The nominating committee typically
>> holds two meetings, one soon after the committee is formed, and
>> usually held concurrent with an ICANN meeting, and meeting later
>> in the year when the committee makes its selections.
>> * Given the recruitment nature of Nom Com's work, it will be
>> particularly helpful if members have extensive personal networks
>> of contacts from outside, and within ICANN, that will support
>> effective recruiting. Furthermore it will be valuable for such
>> delegates to also be prepared to develop cross-constituency
>> understanding to build consensus.
>>
>>Successful appointees from the ALAC must be
>>willing to attend the first face-to-face
>>Nominating Committee meeting. This meeting is
>>expected to occur in Seoul during 31 October 1
>>November 2009. Nom Com Delegates are welcome to
>>attend the entire ICANN meeting also during 25
>>30 October, but hotel costs and expenses for the
>>non-Nom Com portion of the meeting would be at
>>the expense of the individual.
>>
>>FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:
>>
>>Please see the NomCom homepage at
>>http://nomcom.icann.org. The Nomination
>>committee has an FAQ, available at
>>http://nomcom.icann.org/faqs.htm which may be of
>>particular interest.
