Nominating Committee Recruitment Preparations in Place for 10 Leadership
Positions

The 2019 Nominating Committee’s (NomCom’s) initiatives to fill 10 open
leadership positions continue in earnest (visit:

<https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/90b6bb31a07a4e4310077a91f82585e55db38335?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fnomcom2019&userId=796692&signature=177be4ff485a9d74>
for
more information). Three NomCom sub-committees (Job Description, Character,
and Qualities (JDCQ); Application Form; and Outreach)have completed a guide
outlining the job description and desired candidate traits, and updated the
application form. These sub-committees are also continuing their efforts to
identify a highly motivated and talented pool of diverse individuals.

The JDCQ sub-committee sought feedback from ICANN Board members in order to
draft an accurate job description and to identify traits that candidates
should possess to perform effectively as a member of the Board. The JDCQ
sub-committee members integrated the feedback received with information
from their own work and discussions. The approved job description and list
of traits are available to potential candidates here:

.

The Application Form sub-committee revised the application form based
on feedback
from 2018 NomCom applicants. The three most common concerns were multiple
requests for the same information when applying for multiple positions,
form length, and clear instructions. Another equally important concern
involved some applicants’ perception that the form was biased against
ICANN outsiders.
In response, the Application Form sub-committee streamlined and shortened
the form to avoid duplication of information 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’ broader Internet development and
governance experience. It also includes four separate questions about the
applicant’s executive management background and experience as a board or
trustee member.

We are excited that ICANN support staff introduced a new and more
user-friendly online application platform
<https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/c3497c09ac79dec730f412b93b9fd87669905a32?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwebportalapp.com%2Fsp%2Flogin%2Ficann-nomcom-submission-portal&userId=796692&signature=5b00072646fadf07>
 where applicants no longer must perform a two-step process to complete
their application and can now simply create an account, complete the form,
upload new data, and save at their own pace.

The Outreach sub-committee continues its work to identify highly-motivated
talented individuals willing to serve in the 10 open leadership positions
and to elicit an array of applicants who reflect ICANN’s diverse community
of individuals from all regions of the world. Outreach sub-committee
members sought information from current and former Board members for input
and ideas regarding outreach. This sub-committee employs a two-fold
approach that involves the participation of its members to spread the
message in their respective communities and through external channels such
as academic institutions, chambers of commerce, and executive associations.
Outreach efforts will continue until the close of the application period.

The NomCom will continue its work to streamline these processes for
applicants and reminds ICANN community members and their contacts to
submit completed
applications before *22 March 2019 at 23:59 (UTC)*.
