Dear All,
On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we are seeking Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from individuals who
wish to serve as an ICANN Board Director. The selected candidate will serve a 3-year term starting at the end of ICANN69 (2020 Annual General Meeting - AGM).
Background
Seat number 15 of the ICANN Board of Directors is dedicated to a member selected by the At-Large community. This seat is currently occupied by
León Sánchez, who assumed the position at the end of ICANN60 (2017 AGM). His 3-year term will be completed at the closing of ICANN69 (2020 AGM), and he will be eligible for re-appointment.
Pursuant to Section 19 of the At-Large
Advisory Committee (ALAC) Rules of Procedure (RoP),
the At-Large community began the selection process for the next Board Director in September 2019, with the appointment of the Chairs and Members of the BCEC and the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC).
The BCEC is responsible for outlining candidate requirements and expectations, calling for, identifying, and evaluating applications, and compiling the initial slate of candidates. The BMSPC oversees the entire selection process, including the development of
the selection timeline and the election process.
Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate in accordance with a strict code of conduct and confidentiality where applicable. For more information, please visit the
At-Large Board Member Selection Home - 2019-2020.
In accordance with the ALAC Rules of Procedure (RoP),
Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) may petition to have a candidate added to the slate. The BCEC is expected to finalize its selection by the end of 2019. Following the publication of the BCEC slate, unsuccessful applicants
may opt to have their candidacy considered by the five RALOs.
The overall selection process will conclude by Wednesday, 22 April 2020. The successful applicant will be announced on or before
that date.
How to Submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) Form
Interested individuals should begin the process by reviewing the At-Large Board Member Candidate
Requirements 2019-2020
and the At-Large
Board Member Candidate Reference Links & Resources.
In particular, please ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements detailed under “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” on the At-Large
Board Member Candidate Requirements
page.
Those interested and are eligible should email BCEC Staff
to briefly indicate your interest. Upon receipt, At-Large staff will provide access to an online EoI Form for your completion. Specifically, applicants are requested
to name three (3) to four (4) referees who are willing, at short notice, to provide a written reference for your candidacy when contacted by the BCEC and At-Large staff.
The deadline for submitting an EoI Form for the BCEC’s consideration is 23:59 UTC on Monday, 11 November 2019.
Please email the BCEC Staff
if you have more questions.
Kind regards,
ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community
