    Call for Expressions of Interest for 2012-2013 NomCom Chair

20 August 2012

ICANN is immediately seeking expressions of interest for the 2012-2013
Nominating Committee (NomCom) Chair.

In accordance with ICANN's Bylaws, "[i]t is anticipated that upon the
conclusion of the term of the Chair-Elect, the Chair-Elect will be
appointed by the Board to the position of Chair." /See/ Article VII,
section 3.4.

But, the current NomCom Chair-Elect chose after the Prague meeting to
not stand for NomCom Chair. That is why ICANN is now calling for those
interested in serving as Chair of the 2012-2013 Nominating Committee to
submit a statement of interest. All individuals who have expressed
interest in serving as the Chair-Elect will be directly notified about
being considered for Chair. Accordingly, if you have already submitted
your statement of interest for Chair-Elect, you need not do so again for
the Chair position.

For more information about the NomCom see: http://nomcom.icann.org/
