selection — Subject to Review of Statements of Interests</span></p>
<p style="margin: 9pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">30
September 2010</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">After careful review of the
candidates' documents, the mandated Selectors for the Affirmation of
Commitments — Heather Dryden, Interim Chair of the ICANN Government Advisory
Committee and Rod Beckstrom, ICANN President and CEO — have reached a decision
on the composition of the above Review Teams (RT), as presented in the tables
below. The selectors have based their selections on the SO/AC
endorsements. In a couple of cases, the number of endorsed candidates exceeded
the number of available seats. This resulted in a difficult choice between
qualified candidates. Geographic diversity of the teams was one important
factor used by the selectors in those situations. This factor also prompted a
switch of candidates from one AC, in agreement with this entity. The selections
are at this stage preliminary and subject to final review of the candidates'
Statements of Interest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Selectors would like to
thank all candidates for their interest in the ICANN review process; the
skills, professional experience and true interest in the review were highly
appreciated by the Selectors.</span></p>
