Hi Jordan, Thanks for sharing. The first term of Patricio Poblete will expire at the ICANN78 Annual General Meeting held in October 2023. Patricio is eligible for up to 2 additional terms. The ccNSO Council is required to select a candidate in accordance with the relevant ICANN Bylaws and internal rules of the ccNSO applicable at the time of the call for nominations. To meet the ICANN Bylaws requirement of appointing a Director by 26 April 2023, the draft timeline foresees that the ccNSO Council will open a call for nominations to fill ICANN Board Seat number 11, starting Tuesday, 19 July 2022 (00:01 UTC) and closing 3 weeks later (as per the ccNSO Guideline). Elections are proposed to be held in November 2022, after completion of due diligence verifications by a professional firm on the nominee(s). This process could be lengthy, depending on the background and specifics of the candidate(s). As discussed during the May Council meeting, the proposed timeline also foresees a virtual Q&A session with the candidate(s) end October – start November, post ICANN75 and after completion of the due diligence checks.

Still feels too long to me. I do appreciate the approach sketched out to at least defer the Q&A later than ICANN 75.
