ICANN 2012 Nominating Committee Announces Selections

30 August 2012

The 2012 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections
for seven leadership positions within ICANN.

The NomCom Chair, Vanda Scartezini, said;

"It was a very interesting experience, especially the opportunity to work
with very qualified people and a staff that is always focused on making
things work. I thank them for their hard work. Due to the number of
qualified candidates, we had more face to face interviews than last year,
demanding a full four days of work interviewing each short-listed candidate
before our retreat to make a final decision. Even with the additional
interviews we ended our selection task timely and I am quite happy that the
2012 NomCom has selected the best candidates for all positions in ICANN.
Thank you to all the candidates for your interest in volunteering to work
with ICANN and I hope you will continue to participate in this process."

The NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's
leadership. The 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.

The NomCom evaluated 73 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, the
NomCom was unable to appoint all the applicants the Committee members would
have desired to see on the Board and on the other ICANN bodies.

Selectees listed for each ICANN body, in alphabetical order by family name.

As noted above, this year's NomCom received 73 Statements of Interest from

nomination period from 23 December 2011 to 16 April 2012. The regional
