Nominating Committee Announces Selections</span></h2>
<p style="margin: 9pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">7
September 2010</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The 2010 ICANN Nominating
Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections for seven leadership positions
within ICANN.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The NomCom’s Chair, Wolfgang
Kleinwaechter, said "We are proud to announce this year’s selectees to
ICANN’s leadership. They include highly accomplished and experienced
individuals from Albania, Argentina, Egypt, France, Germany, and the United
States. The Committee noted with deep satisfaction that so many highly
qualified individuals had put their names forward for these positions. At the
same time, this made the Committee´s work particularly complex, with difficult
choices between numerous excellent candidates to fill just a handful of
positions. The final selections, a consensus after long deliberations in the
Committee, combines renewal with expertise and experience in a way that we
trust will reinforce ICANN and meet the community's expectations. Furthermore,
for the first time in ICANN’s history, since 1998, the Committee has selected a
representative of the Arab speaking community to the Board, which underlines
the importance of ! further internationalization of ICANN."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">NomCom is charged with
recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN’s leadership. NomCom is mandated to
ensure, that overall, ICANN’s leadership is diverse in geography, culture,
skills, experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees are
people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can support
decision-making within groups, can work effectively in English, have an
understanding of ICANN’s mission and operation, are committed to its success,
experienced in world affairs, contribute to cultural, professional and
geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers in the global
public trust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">NomCom evaluated over eighty
candidates, many of whom with exceptional qualifications in relation to the key
criteria as set out in the ICANN Bylaws. With such a rich pool of candidates
and very few seats to fill, NomCom found itself unable to appoint all the
applicants the Committee members would have desired to see on the Board and on
the other bodies.</span></p>
