[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *Call for Expressions of Interest: ICANN 2021 Nominating Committee Chair and Chair-Elect <https://newsalerts.icann.org/eN082E02000RCv0201WPg0d>* 29 May 2020 LOS ANGELES – 29 May 2020 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) organization is seeking expressions of interest for the Chair and Chair-Elect of the 2021 Nominating Committee (NomCom). 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, a position created as a result of an independent review of the NomCom, 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. In September 2019, the ICANN Board appointed Jay Sudowski as the 2020 NomCom Chair and Ole Jacobsen as the 2020 NomCom Chair-Elect. ( https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2019-09-08-en#1.c <https://newsalerts.icann.org/XdP0gER0N000Ew082021CJ0>.) Article 8, section 8.3(d) of the Bylaws states, "It 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." While it is anticipated that the 2020 NomCom Chair-Elect will become the 2021 NomCom Chair, the NomCom will evaluate the performance of the current NomCom leadership in support of continuous improvement in its accountability and transparency. The results of that evaluation will be available to the Board Governance Committee (BGC) before it makes a recommendation to the full Board on the 2021 NomCom leadership. These reviews will be conducted by an independent third-party provider and will consist of interviewing other NomCom leadership, NomCom members, and designated NomCom staff. The BGC will utilize the outcomes of these reviews in their processes leading up to the Board's formal appointment of the 2021 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect. Position Description The Chair position blends time management and negotiation skills with the practical aspects of conducting a worldwide 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. 8. A thorough understanding of and be able to satisfy all criteria set forth in ICANN Bylaws relating to the NomCom. (*See* http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#article8 <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Aw0F00CR20Nd1g200P0K08E>.) Specific Duties and Responsibilities 1. Plans and schedules NomCom meetings as required, including ensuring posting schedules for public review. 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: 1. Approves outreach and advertising methods for attracting candidates. 2. Conducts outreach with ICANN Stakeholder groups, Constituencies, Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations (with Chairs of those groups), ICANN Board, and others. 3. With other committee members, reviews and evaluates candidate Statements of Interest (SOIs) and references submitted during the NomCom process. 4. Coordinates due diligence on nominated candidates in cooperation with ICANN org General Counsel's office and any outside firm(s) retained to perform due diligence activities. 7. Approves posting of NomCom announcements and schedules on ICANN org's 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 org (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 org's policies will be reimbursed by ICANN org upon the Chair or Chair-Elect's submission to ICANN org of valid receipts and invoices. Expressions of Interest Expressions of Interest, which will be maintained as confidential, should be sent to NomComChair2021(a)icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/f00wd0P08L001R22CNEGg00> no later than 22 June 2020.

Additional details about the agenda for this session will soon be available here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GmV-uQJNgAICtszjLpJge-7DrM6By8bpz3vUc7QLEOUU…> . WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GmV-uQJNgAICtszjLpJge-7DrM6By8bpz3vUc7QLEOUU…> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GmV-uQJNgAICtszjLpJge-7DrM6By8bpz3vUc7QLEOUU…>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001GmV-uQJNgAICtszjLpJge-7DrM6By8bpz3vUc7QLEOUU…> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group initially concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It later conducted deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.

ITI Project
by Maureen Hilyard May 28, 2020

May 28, 2020

Hi everyone I just attended a Demo session by the ITI team (Jana and Mike). They were demonstrating some of the work they are developing on the new ICANN website (preview.icann.org) The work is a bit piecemeal in that if you go onto the site, you may click onto something that will send you to a page that says "Coming Soon" BUT... on the landing page - preview.icann.org <http://preview.icann.org> - there are blocks down the bottom of the page which will take you to sections where there is more of their near completed work, to give you an idea of what to expect. Have a look around and send them some feedback about what you think about some of the new features. I was particularly interested in the public content section, but as you can see "About the Board" "Reviews" and "Accredited Registrars" have some new features to check out. Every time they finish some part of a section, they will put up a "NEW" flag to let you know. Go in and have a play. Let them know what you think.. [image: ITI Feedback.png]

[image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN and FIRST Sign Memorandum of Understanding on DNS Threats Mitigation <https://newsalerts.icann.org/WC01pNR0P0u2Edg00208w00>* 22 May 2020 LOS ANGELES – 22 May 2020 – Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, Inc. (FIRST). The MoU aims to strengthen the relationship between ICANN and FIRST and enhance its collaborative efforts to support a safer, more secure, and resilient Domain Name System (DNS). These efforts are of interest to both parties and target important issues such as domain names used for abuse and security threats to the DNS. The agreement was signed by FIRST President and CEO Serge Droz and ICANN President and CEO Göran Marby. *"The role of the ICANN community, Board, and organization in maintaining a secure, stable, and unified system of identifiers for the Internet has always been important, but at this time, when reliance on the Internet has skyrocketed, our work with FIRST is vital."* — Göran Marby, ICANN President and CEO. Over the last few years, the cybersecurity and ICANN communities have centered discussions around identification of and mitigation efforts for domain name abuse and security threats to the DNS that affect millions of Internet users around the world. Through the MoU the organizations will advance their shared objective of helping the incident response community increase its understanding of the Internet's system of unique identifiers, and improve its efficiency and effectiveness in preventing, detecting, containing, mitigating, and analyzing malicious activity related to it. The MoU emphasizes cooperation on research, policy, and capacity-building activities focused on increasing risk awareness and DNS abuse mitigation practices. Read the full Memorandum of Understanding here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/tdEg220uC80PN00NR00001U>. About FIRST Founded in 1990, the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) consists of internet emergency response teams from more than 529 corporations, government bodies, universities and other institutions across 96 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. It promotes cooperation among computer security incident response teams. For more information, visit: https://www.first.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/j2qR012PC00080gNEdv0w00>. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
