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.
