Dear all, A public comment proceeding seeks community input on the recommendation that Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process similar to the Nominating Committee adopt the proposed Uniform Board Member Integrity Screening Process<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrity...> to conduct due diligence on the candidates selected to serve on the ICANN Board. Close Date 17 Apr 2018 23:59 UTC Current Status: Each of the nominating groups (the ASO, ccNSO, GNSO, At-Large Community and Nominating Committee for Board Directors, and the GAC, IETF, SSAC, and RSSAC for Board Liaisons) employ community-specific processes to select ICANN Board Directors and Board Liaisons in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws. The Nominating Committee, the At-Large Community, and the ASO have each incorporated an external screening process, facilitated by ICANN organization, to review selectees prior to finalizing their selection process. On 2 November 2017, the ICANN Board passed Resolution 2017.11.02.33<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#2.c> directing the President and CEO, or his designee(s), to develop a proposal paper for public comment calling on ICANN's Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process to seriously consider utilizing an integrity screening process similar or identical to the Nominating Committee process to screen both voting Directors and non-voting Liaisons. Next Steps: · The ICANN Board will include the proposed Screening Process as a discussion topic during the Board's sessions during ICANN 61 with the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that do not currently use the integrity screen process facilitated by ICANNorg. · Upon completion of the public comment proceeding, ICANN organization will consider the comments submitted and prepare a report of public comments. https://www.icann.org/public-comments/board-integrity-screening-2018-03-02-e...
