The Supporting Organizations shall ensure that, at any given time, no two Directors nominated by a Supporting Organization are citizens from the same country or of countries located in the same Geographic Region. For purposes of this Section 7.2(c), if any candidate for Director maintains citizenship or Domicile of more than one country, that candidate may be deemed to be from either country and must select in his or her Statement of Interest the country of citizenship or Domicile that he or she wants the Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community, as applicable, to use for nomination purposes.

Accepting nominations and due diligence verifications After closure of the nomination period, the Nomination Process Manager will ascertain whether the nominee(s) formally accept their nomination(s). The deadline to accept nominations is Wed, 8 July 2020 (23:59 UTC). On Thursday, 9 July 2020 (latest by 23:59 UTC), the Nomination Process Manager shall provide a list with the name(s) of the candidate(s) who have accepted their nomination. Also, a record of who has nominated and seconded the candidate(s)<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ccnso-boardnominations/> is publicly available. By acceptance of the nomination, a nominee warrants, is aware of, and consents to: * The Country of Citizenship or Domicile included in the nomination form; * Not to hold a position as an official of a national government or a multinational entity (section 7.4 (a) of the ICANN Bylaws [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>; * Section 7.4 (b) of the ICANN Bylaws; [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> * Section 7.4 (d) of the ICANN Bylaws; [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> * Fully cooperate to undergo a due diligence screening by an external provider, which includes providing necessary consent to ICANN to transmit personal data to the due diligence provider. Candidates need to be aware that they will be approached by the external due diligence provider to sign a consent form before the actual due diligence will begin. The scope of this background check is described in: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrit… [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…>. In the event a candidate does not provide consent or rescinds the consent to undergo the due diligence process, the Council will be informed, and the candidacy of that person will be ended. After completion of the due diligence process, the Chair of the ccNSO Council will be informed of the outcome and inform the Council (with the exception of a potential candidate who is still a Councillor), i.e., only whether concerns have surfaced, which warrant further consideration and decisions. Candidate Statements The Nomination Process Manager will ask candidate(s) to provide a written candidate statement. A Q&A session will be held at the ccNSO Members Meeting at ICANN69, in October 2020. The Q&A session gives the ccNSO members and broader ccTLD community an opportunity to interact with the candidates. In preparation of the Q&A session, the written candidate statements will be posted on the ccNSO website. Elections Bylaw Article 10 – Section 10.3 (i) [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> states: "(i) The ccNSO Council shall nominate individuals to fill Seats 11 and 12 on the Board by written ballot or by action at a meeting; any such nomination must have affirmative votes of a majority of all the members of the ccNSO Council then in office. Notification of the ccNSO Council's nominations shall be given by the ccNSO Council Chair in writing to the EC Administration, with a copy to the Secretary, and the EC shall promptly act on it as provided in Section 7.25." Even if there is only one candidate that accepted nomination for ICANN Board seat number 12, an election will be held, to allow the ccNSO members to either cast their vote for the candidate, or to select the option “none of the above”. The ccNSO Council and ccNSO members have agreed that the ccNSO members shall propose and elect candidates for the two ICANN Board seats allocated to the ccNSO, and that the winner of said election - i.e. the candidate that receives the majority of the votes cast - shall in turn be nominated to the ICANN Board seat by a majority vote of the ccNSO Council. The timeline for the elections is posted in the links-section below: further instructions will be provided by the Nomination Process Manager closer to the start of the elections, in November 2020.
