[NA-Discuss] NOMCOM Final Report

[Glenn McKnight]

Glenn McKnight, NOMCOM Rep


My final report for this year's NOMCOM 2020 as the NARALO rep.


We recently successful selected all of the seven positions for ICANN NOMCOM
in very unique and challenging circumstances. The entire team of fourteen
voting members, leadership team of three and the ICANN staff spent six days
straight for eight hours a day mulling over in detail the submitted
materials and we conducted almost one hour interviews with the Board and
the PTI Board candidates. No interviews for the ALAC, CNSO and GNSO. All
done remotely using ZOOM. A first for ICANN NOMCOM. Special shout out to
Gregory Shatan as the incoming ALAC member and congrats to Javier Rua as
the new CcNSO member


Hats off to those members from Asia who needed to be up very late for the
calls. We strove for the highest level of fairness and transparency for the
process


After six days of interviews, we did have another full day for the final
selection meeting. We did reach agreement on the nomination for all the
seven positions, as you can see below
