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 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 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.
