The nomination will be sent to the Empowered Community for the formal appointment of the Director as per the ICANN Bylaws. The At-Large Community's ICANN Board Director selection process was a six-month effort and officially ended on 19 February 2026. Justine Chew has been selected by At-Large as the successor of León Felipe Sánchez Ambía and will begin her three-year term as an ICANN Board Director at the end of ICANN87 (22 October 2026). The selection process began in September 2025 and started with the formation of two At-Large committees tasked with managing the timeline, calling for and evaluating the candidates, and organizing the final election. Four Expressions of Interest for the position were received, of which all were deemed eligible. The candidates were Sébastien Bachollet, Justine Chew, Maureen Hilyard, and Rafael (Lito) Ibarra. Before the election took place, the At-Large Community was given several opportunities to ask questions to the finalists, both verbally and in writing, to make an informed choice. The final selection was made by the fifteen (15) members of the At-Large Advisory Committee and the five (5) Regional At-Large Large Organization Chairs with the involvement of the At-Large Community.
