Apply Now to Join the ICANN Board, the Councils of GNSO and ccNSO, and the
ALAC

13 November 2009

ICANN's Nominating Committee (Nom Com) invites Statements of Interest and
candidate recommendations from the Internet community for key leadership
positions to fulfill ICANN's technical and policy coordination role.
Interested individuals are invited to submit a Statement of Interest to the
2010 Nom Com for the following positions:

   - Three members of the Board of Directors of ICANN
   - Two At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) representatives (one each from
   the European and North American regions)
   - One member of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization
   (GNSO)
   - One member of the Council of the Country-Code Names Supporting
   Organization (ccNSO)

 The Nominating Committee (Nom Com) is an independent committee tasked with
selecting a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and other key
positions within ICANN's structure. ICANN is an internationally organized,
public benefit, non-profit corporation dedicated to: preserving the
operational security and stability of the Internet; promoting competition;
achieving broad representation of global Internet communities; and
supporting the development of policies appropriate to its mission through
bottom-up, consensus-based processes.

Individuals selected by Nom Com will have a unique opportunity to work with
accomplished colleagues from around the globe, address the Internet's
intriguing technical coordination problems and policy development challenges
with diverse functional, cultural, and geographic dimensions, and gain
valuable insights and experience from working across boundaries of
knowledge, responsibility and perspective.

Those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a valuable public
service contribution towards the continued function and evolution of an
essential global resource. Considering the broad public interest, those
selected will work to achieve the goals towards which ICANN is dedicated in
order to facilitate the Internet's critically important societal functions.

Current Board members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee
include: Harald Tveit Alvestrand, Steve Crocker, Dennis Jennings, Gonzalo
Navarro, Rajasekhar Ramaraj, George Sadowsky, Jean-Jacques Subrenat and
Katim Touray.

Statements of Interest for the positions described above can be submitted
through an on-line application form at http://forms.icann.org/cgi/soi.cgi or
by contacting nomcom2010 at icann.org.

More information regarding the Nominating Committee can be found at
http://nomcom.icann.org/. Applications will be considered in confidence and
should be received by 2 April 2010 for full consideration. Selections will
be announced in early September 2010. Successful candidates will take up
their positions following ICANN's Annual Meeting in December 2010.

Candidate recommendations, questions or comments may also be emailed to
nomcom2010 at icann.org.

* Background: *

The Nominating Committee is designed to function independently from the
ICANN Board, Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. Nominating
Committee members act only on behalf of the interests of the global Internet
community and within the scope of the ICANN mission and responsibilities
assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws.

Nominating Committee members contribute understanding of the broad interests
of the Internet community as a whole, and knowledge and experience of
specific Internet constituencies who have appointed them.

The challenge for the Nominating Committee is to integrate these
perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by
Supporting Organizations and other ICANN entities, individual Nominating
Committee members are not accountable to their appointing constituencies.

Members are accountable for adherence to the ICANN Bylaws and for compliance
with the rules and procedures established by the Nominating Committee.

Successful candidates are not remunerated, although direct expenses incurred
in the course of duty will be reimbursed. Fluency in English is a
requirement for all positions. These positions may involve significant
international travel, including personal presence at periodic ICANN
meetings, as well as regular telephone and Internet communications.
Recent ICANN Meetings have been held in Brazil, Portugal, Puerto Rico, the
United States, India, France, Egypt, Mexico, Australia and South Korea.
Meetings during 2010 are scheduled for Nairobi in Kenya, Brussels in Belgium
and Latin America. The diverse locations facilitate participation across the
world's Internet community; an aspect of growing importance as ICANN's
recently signed Affirmation of Commitments emphasizes ICANN's accountability
to the community.
