Nomination call for ASO representative to 2021 ICANN Nominating
Committee
________________________________________________________________________
ICANN’s Nominating Committee (NomCom) is responsible for the selection
of eight ICANN Board Members, two directors of the Public Technical
Identifiers (PTI) and for other selections as are set forth in the
Bylaws (see Article 8, Section 8.1).
The NomCom is also charged with appointing some members of the ALAC,
ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other
means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved
within ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Councils.
As per the ICANN Bylaws (Article 8, Section 8.2), the Address Supporting
Organization Address Council (ASO AC) is pleased to invite nominations
for candidates from the 'Internet Numbers Community' to run for an open
seat on the ICANN NomCom 2021 as a delegate of the ASO.
The term for the selected delegate will be one year starting at ICANN 69
in Hamburg, Germany, in October 2020 (see Article 8, Section 8.3 for
term limits).
All ICANN Bylaws described above can be found here:
Time commitment for the ASO NomCom representative
-------------------------------------------------
The person should be able to join (in person – ONLY when it is safe to
travel and travel restrictions are lifted), three ICANN (69, 70 and 71)
meetings and an intersessional meeting (location decided by
NomCom 2020). Travel support for all meetings is provided by ICANN.
- ICANN 69 – Annual General Meeting, 17-22 October 2020, Hamburg

- NomCom Intercessional – Assessment meeting, TBD April 2021,
(Location tentative)
- ICANN 71 – Policy Forum, 14-17 June 2021, The Hague (EUR)
In 2020 due to COVID-19, the NomCom has only conducted online meetings
and this may continue in 2021 unless and until it is safe to travel.
Online meetings take more time per week compared to in-person. Please
review the time commitments in view of COVID-19. If global travel
resumes and there is an in-person meeting, travel support will be
provided by ICANN. The ICANN NomCom has a set of guidelines and
procedural documents available here for reference that provide
additional information about the work of the NomCom.
The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically
15:00 or 16:00 UTC). Note that the committee’s workload will increase
significantly during Apr/May/June 2021 when the candidate assessment
process will be at its busiest. Conference calls are held more
frequently (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up
to 3 hours) during this time.
