FYI From: nomcom2018 <nomcom2018(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, 23 February 2018 at 22:47 To: Katrina Sataki <katrina(a)nic.lv> Cc: "Zahid Jamil-IG (internet(a)jamilandjamil.com)" <internet(a)jamilandjamil.com>, Zahid Jamil <zahid(a)dndrc.com>, "Ashcraft, Damon" <dashcraft(a)swlaw.com>, "hph(a)oslo.net" <hph(a)oslo.net>, Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org>, NomCom Operations Team <nomcom-ops-team(a)icann.org>, Pablo Rodriguez <pablo(a)nic.pr>, "2018-nomcom(a)icann.org" <2018-nomcom(a)icann.org>, "ccnso-council(a)icann.org" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: Specific requirements for NomCom appointees to the ccNSO Dear Katrina: We have received your January 22nd letter to the Nominating Committee (“NomCom”) setting forth the ccNSO’s written guidance on the NomCom’s upcoming appointments to the ccNSO Council. As we have stated before, this type of written guidance is critically important to assisting the NomCom in making its selections and we thank you for providing it. To be clear, the ccNSO’s guidance is just that—guidance. The NomCom is an independent body and by design can make appointments to the ccNSO (and other bodies) based on its independent opinion and analysis of the candidates. However, it is the intent of the NomCom that its appointments fill the various needs of the ccNSO and other organizations and significant consideration is given to those organization’s requests for appointees with certain skill sets. We note that the NomCom can only make appointments from the pool of candidates that apply. As such, it is critical that as many qualified candidates apply as possible and we welcome your assistance with outreach to qualified candidates. To formally express interest and to start the application process, candidates should visit https://forms.icann.org/en/groups/nomcom/apply and express their interest. Please note that the deadline to complete an expression of interest is 19 March 2018 at 23:59 UTC. One of the NomCom’s obligations is recruitment. We would welcome the opportunity to speak to any potential candidates for the ccNSO Council and encourage them to apply. We envision potential candidates starting these discussions with Pablo Rodriguez as he is the ccNSO’s appointee to the NomCom. Please let us know how we can be of any other assistance as we go through the selection cycle. Warm Regards, Zahid Jamil—for the 2018 Nominating Committee cc: Pablo Rodriguez (via e-mail only) J. Damon Ashcraft (via e-mail only) Hans Petter Holen (via e-mail only) 2018 NomCom (via e-mail only)

Council procedure: your DECISION/ADVICE IS NEEDED!
by Katrina Sataki Feb. 26, 2018

Feb. 26, 2018

Dear Councillors, Your DECISION/ADVICE IS NEEDED! Some time ago the Guidelines Review Committee started updating the guideline on Council's roles and responsibilities to reflect the need to describe our internal voting mechanism in cases when we have several volunteers to fill positions on the Council. I just realised that the work on this guideline was put on hold because all our attention was focused on approval and rejection actions. Unfortunately, the need to update this guideline completely slipped off my mind and only now I realised that we need a procedure in place for our face-to-face meeting in San Juan. The updated guideline (as it is now) is attached. Technically, we have time to approve it according to the Rules of the ccNSO. However, the guideline has NOT been formally ratified by the GRC. Therefore, it might not be the right way forward for the Council to adopt it now. On the other hand, we need a procedure and the proposed guideline describes it. Maybe we could agree on the procedure as it is outlined in the document and wait for the guideline to be officially submitted after our meeting in Puerto Rico? What would be your preferred way forward? The summary of the procedure would be as follows: - If we have several volunteers for a role/position, we run a vote by a secret ballot, - Chair and vice-chairs should each represent a different ICANN geographic region, - First we elect the Chair, - If there are several candidates for the positions of vice-chairs from the same region, the selection is first run among them, - If there are still more candidates than vice-chair positions (i.e., more than two), the selection is done by a secret vote, - If several candidates receive the most number of votes, a run-off selection round is run. Can we agree on this procedure and (should a need arise) field test it? Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina
