This announcement will also be posted on the ccNSO website.

You may notice that the NomCom welcomes applications for a variety of ICANN and PTI leadership positions, including the ccNSO Council.

About the ccNSO Council

The ccNSO Council administers and coordinates the affairs of the ccNSO. It also manages the development of policy recommendations. The councilors are actively involved in setting the course of the ccNSO by leading and participating in various ccNSO working groups, engaging the community in topical issues and developing positions based on community input.

The breakdown of the composition is as follows: The ccNSO has 18 councilors, 15 of whom are appointed by ccNSO members and 3 of whom are selected by the ICANN Nominating Committee. ICANN has five Geographic Regions. The ccNSO members for each Geographic Region elect three councilors per region. All councilors are appointed for a three-year term and can be re-appointed. Each year, the Council elects its chair and two vice chairs. The chair of the Council is also chair of the ccNSO.

Best regards,

Joke Braeken

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
