Dear all, We are now looking for a volunteer to serve on ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom) on behalf of the ccNSO. The Committee is tasked to select eight members of the ICANN Board and other key positions within the ICANN structure. The NomCom is designed to function independently from the Board, the Supporting Organisations, and Advisory Committees.

This means that even if you are delegated on behalf of the ccNSO, you are not accountable to the ccNSO. The NomCom works primarily through teleconferences and email, but also meet face-to-face during the ICANN meetings. For more information, see http://nomcom.icann.org/ For questions, please contact Joette Youkhanna: joette.youkhanna(a)icann.org Should you be interested in this position, please, let me know by Friday, 6 September at the latest.
