Dear All, The ALAC periodically appoint individuals to represent the interests of the ALAC and the At-Large Community, to act on behalf of the ALAC or to meet other specific obligations, to various bodies within or outside of ICANN. Among such ALAC Appointees are our formal liaisons to the GAC, the SSAC, the GNSO, and the ccNSO. While equally strategic to the ALAC, these 4 Liaisons carry varying responsibilities, often demanding differing knowledge, skills and time commitments, and even the right temperament, to be successful in their respective roles. Whether you just want to better understand the scope of work for these 4 ALAC Liaisons, or are aspiring for selection as an ALAC Liaison in the future, please join us for a series of planned Fireside Chats which will continue into 2026. To kick off the series, two At-Large Fireside Chats with the ALAC Liaison to the GNSO, Justine Chew, have been scheduled, to accommodate the various time-zones: * Tuesday, 16 December 2025 at 19:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/GADFJw * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0QUm7xY6AmQz3Aw <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/SP7knIu0QUm7xY6AmQz3Aw> * Thursday, 18 December 2025 at 13:00 UTC (60 minutes) * Agenda page with details: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/QYDNJw * Zoom registration: https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/9N35VNN5RuuWc7wFXYH5EQ> These Fireside Chats form part of the FY2026 At-Large Capacity Development Initiatives<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hnv5EnPAOu99Narg13yTc1kOjozDArg_m6g_KQy…>.

by Heidi Ullrich Nov. 20, 2025

Nov. 20, 2025

Dear All, The BCEC has agreed to a slight extension of the deadline for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to serve as the next ICANN Board Director nominated by the At-Large Community (Seat 15). The deadline to submit a completed EOI has been extended to Sunday, 23 November at 23:59 UTC. How to apply: 1. Review the requirements – At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/483065909> – Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/517800468> Please pay special attention to the “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” section to confirm your eligibility. 2. Email the BCEC Staff – Send a brief note indicating your interest to bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org>. – Staff will provide you access to the online EoI Form. 3. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Sunday, 23 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Kind regards, BCEC Support Staff *** ** La version francaise est en dessous de la version anglaise. ** ** La versión en español está debajo de la versión en francés.** ** Dear At-Large Community Members, On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals who would like to serve as the ICANN Board Director nominated by the At-Large Community (Seat 15). The successful candidate will begin a three-year term at the close of ICANN87 (2026 Annual General Meeting). Why does this matter? Seat 15 is the only ICANN Board seat chosen directly by the At-Large Community. It has been held since ICANN60 (2017 AGM) by León Sánchez, whose third and final term ends at ICANN87. This is a rare opportunity for an At-Large leader to bring their knowledge and experience to ICANN’s highest level of governance. About the selection process: The BCEC defines candidate requirements, issues the call for applications, and evaluates submissions. The Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) oversees the timeline and election. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate under a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) may petition to add candidates to the slate. Unsuccessful applicants may have opted for their candidacy to be considered by the RALOs after the BCEC slate is published. The full process is expected to conclude no later than 22 April 2026, when the selected candidate to be nominated as an ICANN Board Member will be announced. For full information, visit the At-Large Board Member Selection Home – 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/394657793>. How to apply: 1. Review the requirements – At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/483065909> – Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/517800468> Please pay special attention to the “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” section to confirm your eligibility. 2. Email the BCEC Staff – Send a brief note indicating your interest to bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org>. – Staff will provide you access to the online EoI Form. 3. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Friday, 21 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Questions? Please email bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org> for clarification. This is your opportunity to contribute your experience, vision, and commitment at ICANN’s highest level of decision-making. We encourage all qualified individuals to step forward. ICANN Policy Staff supporting the At-Large Community ** Sujet : Appel à manifestations d’intérêt pour le siège 15 du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (cycle 2025-2026) Chers membres de la communauté At-Large, Au nom du Comité d’évaluation des candidats au Conseil d’administration (BCEC), nous avons le plaisir de lancer un appel à manifestation d’intérêt pour le poste d’administrateur nominé par la communauté At-Large au Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (siège 15). La personne retenue entamera un mandat de trois ans à l’issue de l’ICANN87 (Réunion générale annuelle de 2026). Pourquoi cela est-il important ? Le siège 15 est le seul siège du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN qui soit directement pourvu par la communauté At-Large. Occupé depuis l’ICANN60 (Réunion générale annuelle 2017) par León Sánchez, dont le troisième et dernier mandat s’achèvera à l’ICANN87, ce poste représente une occasion unique pour un leader de la communauté At-Large d’apporter ses connaissances et son expérience au plus haut niveau de la gouvernance de l’ICANN. Le processus de sélection : Le BCEC est chargé de définir les critères de candidature, de publier l’appel à candidatures et d’évaluer les dossiers. De son côté, le Comité chargé du processus de sélection d’un membre du Conseil d’administration (BMSPC) supervise le calendrier et le déroulement de l’élection. Les deux groupes, équilibrés sur le plan régional au niveau de leur composition, s’acquittent de leurs tâches suivant un code de conduite et des règles de confidentialité des plus stricts. Les organisations régionales At-Large (RALO) peuvent proposer l’ajout de noms à la liste des candidats. Les candidats non retenus peuvent avoir choisi que leur candidature soit examinée par les RALO après la publication de la liste du BCEC. L’ensemble du processus devrait s’achever au plus tard le 22 avril 2026, date à laquelle sera annoncé le nom du nouvel administrateur.

El candidato nominado comenzará un mandato de tres años al finalizar la reunión ICANN87 (Reunión General Anual 2026). ¿Por qué es importante? El puesto 15 es el único de la Junta Directiva de la ICANN elegido directamente por la comunidad At-Large.

Se trata de una oportunidad excepcional para que un líder de At-Large aporte sus conocimientos y experiencia al más alto nivel de gobernanza de la ICANN. Acerca del proceso de selección: El BCEC define los requisitos de los candidatos, publica la convocatoria a presentar solicitudes y evalúa las presentaciones. El Comité para el Proceso de Selección de Miembros de la Junta Directiva (BMSPC) supervisa el calendario y la elección. Ambos grupos tienen una composición regional equilibrada y funcionan conforme a un estricto código de conducta y confidencialidad. Las Organizaciones Regionales At-Large (RALO) pueden solicitar que se agreguen candidatos a la lista. Los candidatos no seleccionados pueden haber optado por que su candidatura sea considerada por los RALO después de que se publique la lista del BCEC.
