Oh, and we have never invoked the right to abstain or not choose in an APRALO election ballot. You have, of course, the right not to vote at all IF you're unable to decide from among those offered in a slate of candidates, as voting is not compulsory... <https://about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr?promo=email_sig&utm_source=product&utm_m…> Cheryl Langdon-Orr about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr <https://about.me/cheryl.LangdonOrr?promo=email_sig&utm_source=product&utm_m…> On Thu, 15 May 2025 at 15:37, Cheryl Langdon-Orr <langdonorr(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Three or more candidates on a slate for a selection/election requires an > Instant Run Off Vote (which was what was used).

Dear Community Members Warm greetings to all. I am pleased to share an important update from Amir Qayyum, Chair of the 2025 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom), recently published on the ICANN blog on 12 May 2025 . Key Highlights: The 2025 NomCom received a total of 106 completed applications for open ICANN and Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) leadership positions . The regional and gender distribution of applicants is as follows: 37% are from Africa 25% are from Asia, Australia, or the Pacific Islands 16% are from Latin America or the Caribbean 8% are from Europe 2% are from North America 12% are citizens or residents of two or more regions Gender representation among applicants: 27% are female 73% are male The NomCom is currently in the evaluation phase, reviewing candidates for 10 open leadership positions, which include: Three (3) members of the ICANN Board of Directors One (1) member of the PTI Board of Directors Three (3) regional representatives to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) &ndash one each from: the Africa region the Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands region the Latin America and Caribbean region One (1) member of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council Two (2) members of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council &ndash one representing the Contracted Parties House and one representing the Non-Contracted Parties House Current Status and Next Steps: The first intersessional meeting was held from 24&ndash26 April 2025, where applications were reviewed and a preliminary shortlist was identified . Deep dive groups have been formed to conduct virtual interviews and detailed assessments of shortlisted candidates .

During ICANN83, NomCom delegates will vote to confirm selections and alternates for the ICANN Board, PTI Board, ALAC, ccNSO Council, and GNSO Council. The NomCom will also launch a due diligence process for the final short-listed candidates for all open leadership positions. The goal is to announce the NomCom selectees in late August or early September 2025. This is a significant milestone for ICANN&rsquos multistakeholder model. The global diversity among applicants&mdashparticularly the strong representation from all regions&mdashis an encouraging sign of our collective progress toward inclusive governance .
