<p style="margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:21.75px;color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Arial,Heveltica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.6)">
<abbr style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted" title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>'s Bylaws require the Board to appoint the Nominating Committee (NomCom) Chair and NomCom Chair-Elect. See Article VII, sections 2.1 and 2.2 at<a href="http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VII" style="outline:none;color:rgb(239,103,62);text-decoration:none">http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VII</a>. The Board has delegated the responsibility for recommending the NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect for Board approval to the Board Governance Committee. See BGC Charter at <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/charter.htm" style="outline:none;color:rgb(239,103,62);text-decoration:none">http://www.icann.org/en/committees/board-governance/charter.htm</a>. The BGC posted a call for expressions of interest (EOI), received and reviewed several EOIs, and conducted interviews with some candidates before making recommendations.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:21.75px;color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Arial,Heveltica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.6)">
The Board has considered and agrees with the BGC's recommendations.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:21.75px;color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Arial,Heveltica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.6)">
Appointing a NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect identified through a public EOI process positively affects the transparency and accountability of <abbr style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted" title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr>. Adopting the BGC's recommendation has no financial impact on <abbr style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted" title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers">ICANN</abbr> and will not negatively impact the systemic security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system.</p>

This decision is a Board-level Organizational Administrative Function – no public comment required.</p>
