                      and perspective. Selectees should have the

                    <h3>An Independent Body at the Community’s Service</h3>
                    <p>Zahid Jamil, the Chair of the 2018 Nominating
                      Committee, shared the following statement about
                      the 2018 Nominating Committee and its results:
                      <br>
                      “I am pleased to announce that the 2018 Nominating
                      Committee has completed the task assigned to it by
                      the ICANN community. The selection of all
                      positions shown above was finalized by the
                      Nominating Committee at ICANN62 in Panama City,
                      Panama. Selections for all Board positions were
                      decided unanimously.</p>
                    <p>I want to thank the Nominating Committee for its
                      work and dedication, in working constructively and
                      efficiently together to reach final agreement.
                      <br>
                      I would also like to thank the Chairs of the
                      Advisory Committees, Supporting Organizations,
                      Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies for their
                      support with outreach and recruitment as well as
                      theirs and the Board’s assistance in identifying
                      criteria for the positions to be filled by the
                      NomCom this year. I encourage the community to
                      continue its outreach activity to assist the 2019
                      NomCom in recruiting candidates for selection next
                      year.</p>
                    <p>It is my belief that the improvements of the
                      process implemented this year, in part based upon
                      recommendations of previous years, played an
                      integral role in ensuring the efficiency as well
                      as the integrity and resilience of the Nomcom. In
                      particular, the effect of the face-to-face
                      meeting, the early planning, setting criteria in
                      advance, focus on recruitment resources, greater
                      communication (including multiple visits by and to
                      the ACs and SOs by the NomCom) played a very
                      constructive role - just to mention a few. <br>
                      I would also like to thank the Chair of the Board,
                      the Board Governance Committee, the General
                      Counsel’s Office, and in particular the stellar
                      staff that supported the NomCom this year. Last
                      but not least I would like to thank Damon Ashcraft
                      and Hans Petter Holen for supporting me on the
                      Leadership Team throughout the year.” </p>
                    <p>During ICANN63 in Barcelona, the Nominating
                      Committee will present the ICANN community with a
                      final report detailing its work and providing
                      in-depth data on the applications received.</p>
                    <h3>Regional Breakdown of Applicants</h3>
                    <p>The 2018 Nominating Committee received 109
                      applications from candidates all over the world
                      (33 women and 76 men) during its nomination
                      period, which took place from 31 January 2018 to
                      19 March 2018.</p>
                    <p>The regional breakdown of this year's candidates
                      is:</p>
                    <ul type="disc">

                    <h3>About ICANN</h3>
                    <p>ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable,
                      secure and unified global Internet. To reach
                      another person on the Internet, you need to type
                      an address – a name or a number – into your
                      computer or other device. That address must be
                      unique, so computers know where to find each
                      other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these
                      unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was
                      formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit
                      corporation with a community of participants from
                      all over the world.</p>
