At-Large Delegates Needed for ICANN 2006 Nominating Committee

At-Large Delegates Needed for ICANN 2006 Nominating Committee

The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) is seeking recommendations/volunteers for delegates to ICANN's 2006 Nominating Committee (NomCom), which selects individuals to serve on ICANN's Board and in other leadership positions. At-Large delegates will fill seats on the NomCom. NomCom information is posted at http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/. For more information on At-Large delegate positions, or to receive a "statement of interest form" for potential At-Large delegates, send an email to committee@alac.icann.org. Statements of interest are requested by 18 November 2005.

Each year, the NomCom is responsible for selecting individuals to serve in key leadership positions within the ICANN structure. This year, for example, the NomCom is appointing members of ICANN's Board of Directors, the GNSO Council, the ccNSO Council, and the ALAC.

With significantly more seats on the NomCom than any other constituency, At-Large will have five NomCom delegates, one from each geographic region (Africa, Asia/Australia/Pacific, Europe, Latin America/Caribbean Islands, and North America). The ALAC has asked the At-Large Structures in each region (and groups that have applied to be ALSs) to recommend an individual to serve on the NomCom from their region. After receiving recommendations and input, the ALAC will appoint At-Large delegates.

Questions regarding this announcement should be emailed to committee@alac.icann.org.
