> 
>   * Ineligibility for Service – Current or future ICANN employees or
>     paid ICANN consultants (including Ombudsman) are excluded from
>     consideration for eligibility as described in Article 8, Section 8.9
>     of ICANN’s Bylaws
>     <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8>.
>   * The ICANN community is diverse and the composition of

>   * NomCom delegates should have a high-level network of contacts
>     essential to candidate recruitment.
>   * The delegate should be able to join monthly teleconferences. Note
>     that the NomCom's workload _will increase_ significantly during the
>     candidate assessment process. Conference calls are held more
>     frequently during this time as well (typically weekly and the
>     duration of the calls may last up to three hours).
>   * All NomCom delegates should have the ability to travel to and
>     participate in ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when
>     requested (travel and hotel accommodations will be provided for all
>     approved meetings). If travel is restricted, then NomCom delegates
>     will meet virtually.

> *IMPORTANT: RALOs may recommend one or more candidates to the ALAC. The 
> appointment of NomCom delegates is carried out by the ALAC. Therefore, 
> RALO recommendations are not binding.*
