ICANN News Alert -- Call for Expressions of Interest for 2015 Nominating Committee Chair and Chair-Elect
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 9, 2014

May 9, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-09may14-en.htm ________________________________ Call for Expressions of Interest for 2015 Nominating Committee Chair and Chair-Elect 9 May 2014 ICANN is seeking expressions of interest for leadership roles in the 2015 Nominating Committee (NomCom) – that of the 2015 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect. In September 2013 the ICANN Board appointed "Cheryl Langdon-Orr as the 2014 Nominating Committee Chair and Stéphane Van Gelder as the 2014 Nominating Committee Chair-Elect." (See http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28sep13-en.htm#2…) In accordance with the Bylaws, "[i]t is anticipated that upon the conclusion of the term of the Chair-Elect, the Chair-Elect will be appointed by the Board to the position of Chair." See Article VII, section 3.4. Accordingly, while it is anticipated that the 2014 NomCom Chair Elect will succeed to the role of 2015 NomCom Chair, in support of continuous improvement in its accountability and transparency the NomCom will evaluate the performance of the current NomCom leadership, and the results of that evaluation will be available to the Board Governance Committee before it makes a recommendation to the full Board on 2015 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 reviews in their processes leading up to the Board's formal appointment of the 2015 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect. 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 is a non-voting member of the NomCom selected by ICANN's Board to serve until the conclusion of the next ICANN Annual Meeting. The Chair-Elect is a position created within the Bylaws as an outcome of the independent review of the NomCom. 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. Candidates for Chair-Elect should possess the same skills as candidates for the Chair. Position Description 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. Skills and Experience To properly serve as the NomCom Chair, the selected individual must have: 1. adequate time available to undertake the role; 2. excellent communication and negotiation skills to manage a committee of 20-21 members; 3. a clear understanding of the duties and responsibilities of each position for which the NomCom is selecting candidates; 4. experience on or with a Board of Directors of organizations with similar scale, scope and diversity as ICANN; 5. strong organization and leadership skills; 6. ability to remain unbiased; 7. no conflicts of interest, and 8. a thorough understanding of, and satisfy, all criteria set forth in ICANN Bylaws relating to the NomCom (see http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII<http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#VII>). Specific Duties and Responsibilities 1. Plans and schedules NomCom meetings as required, including ensuring posting schedules for public review. Please see attached for a Listing of the NomCom activities. 2. Appoints non-voting Associate Chair if so desired. 3. Reports to ICANN Board and the community on status of the NomCom. 4. Prepares and publishes the NomCom report. 5. Ensures that NomCom operating rules and procedures are followed. 6. Manages NomCom Selection Process, including: * Approves outreach/advertising methods for attracting candidates. * Conducts outreach with ICANN Constituencies, ACs and SOs (with Chairs of those groups), ICANN Board, and others. * With other committee members, reviews and evaluates candidate Statements of Interest (SOIs) and references submitted during NomCom process * Coordinates due diligence on nominated candidates in cooperation with ICANN's General Counsel and any outside firm(s) retained to perform due diligence activities. 7. Approves posting of NomCom announcements and schedules on ICANN website. 8. Ensures NomCom records are properly established, maintained and archived. Eligibility Exclusion No person who is an employee of or is a paid consultant to ICANN (including the Ombudsman) shall simultaneously serve as a member of the NomCom, including the post of Chair or Chair-Elect. Expenses All reasonable travel expenses and administrative costs incurred as a result of performing the duties as NomCom Chair or Chair-Elect in accordance with ICANN's policies will be reimbursed by ICANN upon the Chair or Chair-Elect's submission to ICANN of valid receipts and invoices. Expressions of Interest Expressions of Interest, which will be maintained as confidential, should be sent to NomComChair2015(a)icann.org<mailto:NomComChair2015@icann.org> no later than 10 June 2014. For more information about the NomCom see http://nomcom.icann.org/

ICANN News Alert -- New gTLD Auctions Updates First Auction Confirmed
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 9, 2014

May 9, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-08may14-en.htm ________________________________ New gTLD Auctions Updates – First Auction Confirmed 8 May 2014 ICANN has updated the Auction Schedule for New gTLD applicants with strings in contention sets. The schedule now lists the participants confirmed for the first Auction on 4 June 2014, and the rescheduling of some sets based on requested postponements. When Applicants were issued Intent to Auction notifications, they were given an option to postpone the Auction under one of the following circumstances: * All members of the contention set request the Auction be postponed Or * Any applicant in a contention set requests deferment of the Auction until the Name Collision Occurrence Management Framework (the Framework) has been finalized. Postponements granted as a result of unanimous agreement among all members of the contention set have resulted in deferral of two auctions. The updated schedule postponements requested based on the Framework have only been granted for those sets previously scheduled for the first Auction: those contention sets that requested a postponement for this reason from the first Auction have been moved to the second Auction. Should the Framework not be finalized by the confirmation deadline (21 days prior to an Auction) for the second auction, additional deferrals will be issued. In the updated schedule those contention sets marked with an asterisk (*) have been granted postponements. The two applicants confirmed for the first Auction have received their confirmations from ICANN. Applicants will receive a notification from ICANN confirming their Auction date at least 21 days prior to the Auction. As Auctions are the method of last resort, Applicants may self-resolve a contention set up to 7 days prior to the Auction. Auction Date Advancement Additionally, ICANN is introducing the opportunity for applicants to request that their Auction be advanced – scheduled for a date earlier than originally scheduled. Similar to a request for postponement, an advancement of the auction date requires all members of the contention set to submit the request. To request advancement, the Application's primary contact must submit the Advancement Request form<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions/date-advancement-form-06ma…> [PDF, 216 KB] via a case in the Customer Portal at least 45 calendar days prior to the new desired Auction date. Auction Rules ICANN has issued a new version of the Auction Rules<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions/rules-06may14-en.pdf> [PDF, 291 KB] to address several potential issues. One of the more notable changes addresses the eligibility requirements for participating in Auctions. In an effort to prevent any undue disruptions to the Auction Schedule, the following condition has been removed from the eligibility requirements in paragraph 8: d) Finalized any and all change requests Because all applications that are in contention sets have passed Evaluation, ICANN believes that in most cases, there is no reason to delay an Auction merely because a change request has been filed, and that the evaluation and processing of the change request generally should proceed independently and in parallel with the Auction timeline. ICANN reserves the right not to send Intent to Auction notices and/or not to proceed with an Auction if a change request by one or more applicants in the Contention Set is pending, but believes that in most instances the Auction should proceed without further delay. Auctions Bidder Training Finally, ICANN is pleased to announce the availability of new Bidder Training materials. Power Auctions has prepared three brief training videos to help Bidders prepare for an Auction including videos covering account set-up prior to an Auction, the Auction process, and Post Auction activities. The Videos are posted on the video tutorial page<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/video/tutorials/auctio…>, and are also available via the Auctions landing page. For more information, please visit the Auctions webpage<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions>.
