See Article VII, section 3.4. Accordingly, while it anticipated that the 2013 NomCom Chair Elect will succeed to the role of 2014 NomCom Chair, the incumbent NomCom leaders, in discussion with the Board Governance Committee (BGC), agree that in support of continuous improvement in its accountability and transparency, the NomCom will be initiating a new practice this year to evaluate performance of the NomCom leadership. Specifically, the NomCom will be undertaking 360 degree reviews of its Chair and its Chair-Elect, which typically consists of input from an immediate circle of colleagues - top down, bottom up and peer-to-peer, and in this case will consist of interviewing other NomCom leadership, NomCom members, as well as designated NomCom staff. These 360 degree reviews will be conducted by an independent third party provider. The BGC will utilize the outcomes of these 360 degree reviews in their processes leading up to the Board's formal appointment of the 2014 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The NomCom Chair is responsible for organizing the NomCom in its activities to select certain ICANN Board members and individuals who will serve in key leadership positions within ICANN's supporting organizations (SOs) and advisory committees (ACs) in accordance with ICANN's Bylaws.

The Chair-Elect position is not a replacement of the Advisor to the NomCom Chair, and is not intended to fill an advisory role. Rather, the Chair-Elect will receive the benefit of training while serving alongside the Chair, gaining skills and knowledge to be applied for the Chair-Elect's anticipated succession into the role of the Chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Candidates for Chair-Elect should possess the same skills as candidates for the Chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Position Description<o:p></o:p></span></h3><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This position blends time management and negotiation skills with the practical aspects of conducting a world-wide search for individuals to fill various ICANN leadership positions. The NomCom Chair will be called on to schedule, organize and lead numerous in-person and telephonic meetings with a large committee of community members. The NomCom Chair is also responsible for managing the candidate identification and statement of interest process, with other committee members, and for managing the due diligence to be performed on nominated candidates, in cooperation with ICANN's General Counsel and any retained outside firm(s). Throughout all NomCom activities, the Chair is responsible for ensuring that all NomCom operating rules and procedures are followed, and that all required documentation and reports are prepared in a timely fashion and provided to the proper parties as necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Skills and Experience<o:p></o:p></span></h3><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>To properly serve as the NomCom Chair, the selected individual must have:<o:p></o:p></span></p><ol start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>adequate time available to undertake the role;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>excellent communication and negotiation skills to manage a committee of 20-21 members;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>a clear understanding of the duties and responsibilities of each position for which the NomCom is selecting candidates;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>experience on or with a Board of Directors of organizations with similar scale, scope and diversity as ICANN;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>strong organization and leadership skills;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>ability to remain unbiased;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>no conflicts of interest, and<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>a thorough understanding of, and satisfy, all criteria set forth in ICANN Bylaws relating to the NomCom (<em><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>see</span></em> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VII"><span lang=EN-US>http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><h3><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Specific Duties and Responsibilities<o:p></o:p></span></h3><ol start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Plans and schedules NomCom meetings as required, including ensuring posting schedules for public review.
