Dear Colleagues:
The IAB (on behalf of the IETF) has been asked to supply a member to the
2015 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) by August 2014. The IAB would
therefore like to ask the community for volunteers to serve on the ICANN
NomCom. Our current appointee, Russ Mundy is unable to serve another term.
The IAB thanks Russ for his service and wishes him well.
If you are interested in serving on the ICANN NomCom, please send a short
e-mail to iab-chair at iab.org and execd at iab.org with your motivation and
information concerning your familiarity with the IETF and ICANN. The
deadline for volunteering is 19 July 2014.
After asking for community input on the candidates, the IAB will select from
the available candidates, taking into account the familiarity with ICANN and
the IETF, their roles, and their processes. The selected candidate will
serve on the ICANN NomCom on personal title; however, we will be looking for
a candidate who has an understanding of the interests of the technical
community.
The ICANN NomCom process itself is governed by the ICANN bylaws; an abstract
of the relevant articles can be found at http://nomcom.icann.org/bylaws.htm.
In addition, each NomCom determines a number of its own operational
procedures, including the role of the NomCom in recruiting and selecting
candidates for ICANN leadership positions. Based on Russ Mundy's
experience, the time commitment is significant. The selected person should
be prepared to participate in the recruitment of potential candidates for
ICANN leadership positions (a few hours per month November through April); a
few hours on conference calls each month (and even more near selection); ten
or more hours per month reviewing and assessing candidate qualifications in
April, May, and June; and multiple days of face-to-face meetings of the full
NomCom at each of the three ICANN meetings.
The ICANN NomCom typically meets in person at or around three consecutive
ICANN meetings in various locations throughout the world, resulting next
summer in a final slate of candidates for the ICANN Board, the GNSO, ccNSO,
and ALAC.
NOTE: ICANN does cover travel and hotel costs for a pre-determined number of
days at each of the 3 consecutive ICANN meetings.
Candidates should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically at UTC
14:00), with the expectation that these teleconferences will held weekly
during the candidate assessment process in May and June.
