Selected individuals will have a unique opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around the globe to help shape the Internet's technical coordination and policy development.

Guided by the broad public interest, those selected will work to fulfill ICANN's mission to coordinate the global Internet's system of unique identifiers, and in particular, to ensure its stable and secure operation. They will gain valuable insights and experience working on topics including knowledge, responsibility, culture, and geography. They will make a valuable public service contribution toward the functioning and evolution of this essential global resource. Qualifications Fluency in English is a requirement for all positions. Other qualifications, skills and time commitments vary depending on the position. For information, visit the NomCom webpage[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_nomcom2018&d…>. Application Deadline and Process For full consideration, ICANN must receive applications by 19 March 2018, 23:59 Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). * Submit an expression of interest through the online expression of interest request form[nomcom.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nomcom.icann.org_apply&…> or by emailing nomcom2018(a)icann.org<mailto:nomcom2018@icann.org>. * Submit candidate recommendations through the online form<https://forms.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/suggest> or by emailing nomcom2018(a)icann.org<mailto:nomcom2018@icann.org>.

Successful candidates will assume their positions after ICANN's Annual General Meeting scheduled to be held from 20 - 26 October 2018. Meetings, Travel, Reimbursement, and Compensation These positions require regular participation in teleconferences and may involve significant international travel, including travel to ICANN's three annual Public Meetings. Meetings during 2018 will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico (10–15 March); Panama City, Panama (25–28 June); and Barcelona, Spain (20–26 October). Reasonable direct and properly documented expenses incurred in the course of service will be reimbursed. Each Board Member has the option to receive compensation in accordance with the resolution passed by the Board on 30 July 2014, but it is not required. (See Board Member Compensation[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_resources_bo…>.) Background The NomCom is an independent committee tasked with selecting eight members of the Board of Directors and other key leadership positions within ICANN's structure. It is designed to function independently from the ICANN Board, Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom members act only on behalf of the interests of the global Internet community and within the scope of the ICANN mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws. NomCom members contribute their understandings of the broad interests of the Internet community, and their knowledge and experience of specific Internet constituencies that have appointed them. The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to their appointing bodies. NomCom members are accountable for adherence to the ICANN Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom.

Whereas the ALAC Rules of Procedures and the associated Adjunct Document 04 – At-Large Structure Framework allows the ALAC to decertify an At-Large Structure (ALS); Whereas, as documented at Visually Impaired and Blind User Group (VIBUG) Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/dRCbAw>, Visually Impaired and Blind User Group (VIBUG) either no longer exists or no longer satisfies the requirements to be an ALS as identified in the At-Large Structure Framework, and/or the ALS requirements as outlined in the RALO's rules; Whereas, as documented at America@Large Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/America@Large+%28NARALO%29+Dece…>, America@Large either no longer exists or no longer satisfies the requirements to be an ALS as identified in the At-Large Structure Framework, and/or the ALS requirements as outlined in the RALO's rules; Whereas, as documented at Open Media Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/UKDDAw>, Open Media either no longer exists or no longer satisfies the requirements to be an ALS as identified in the At-Large Structure Framework, and/or the ALS requirements as outlined in the RALO's rules; Whereas, as documented at ISOC Disabled and Special Needs Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/t5nRAw>, ISOC Disabled and Special Needs either no longer exists or no longer satisfies the requirements to be an ALS as identified in the At-Large Structure Framework, and/or the ALS requirements as outlined in the RALO's rules; Whereas, as documented at ISOC North Carolina Decertification Workspace<https://community.icann.org/x/9hwhB>, ISOC North Carolina either no longer exists or no longer satisfies the requirements to be an ALS as identified in the At-Large Structure Framework, and/or the ALS requirements as outlined in the RALO's rules; It is resolved that the ALAC decertifies the following organizations as ICANN At-Large Structures: VIBUG, America@Large, Open Media, ISOC Disabled and Special Needs, ISOC North Carolina. Such decertification is subject ICANN Board Reconsideration as per Article IV, Section 2 of the ICANN Bylaws and is done without prejudice to any future re-application of these organizations for certification as ALSes, or the applications for ALS certification of any other groups bearing the same names.

ICANN News Alert -- Request for Proposal: Rights Protection Mechanisms Survey
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 30, 2018

Jan. 30, 2018

[CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-01-29-en[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ Request for Proposal: Rights Protection Mechanisms Survey 29 January 2018 The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") is seeking to identify one or more suppliers qualified to develop and conduct survey(s) to assess the use and effectiveness of Sunrise and Trademark Claims Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs). These RPMs are services provided through ICANN's Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for trademark owners. RPMs refer to those policies and processes developed to provide workable mechanisms for trademark owners to either prevent or remedy certain unauthorized use of their trademarks in the domain name system. The Sunrise service provides priority access to rights holders to request domain names associated with their trademark(s). The Trademark Claims service provides notification to: (a) a potential domain name registrant attempting to register a domain name that matches a trademark record entered into the TMCH, and (b) a rights holder after registration of a matching domain name. As Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs have not been subject to policy review to date, no comprehensive, publicly available data currently exists that measures their effectiveness. By surveying the specific respondent groups identified by the ICANN community as most affected by Sunrise and Trademark Claims RPMs, ICANN aims to assist the community to evaluate the efficacy of these RPMs, as well as bolster ICANN's data collection efforts related to the RPMs. For a complete overview of the RFP including the timeline, please see here[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icann.org_en_system_fi…> [PDF, 86 KB]. Indications of interest are to be received by emailing RPMs.Survey-rfp(a)icann.org<mailto:RPMs.Survey-rfp@icann.org>. Proposals should be electronically submitted by 23:59 UTC on 09 March 2018 using ICANN's sourcing tool, access to which may be requested via the same email address above.
