Yes, this would be a more orthodox procedure.
1. Call for nominations makes it clear that background checks clearance (ie the individual is fit and proper to be an officer of a Californian company) is a condition for nomination and the necessary consents are obtained up front. 2. Background checks are done (could be via third party referencing agency). 3. Candidate slate is published after the checks are complete.
In my experience of running the Nominet elections, the main debate was over the extent of the background checks. Should this be limited to matters that at law would disqualify them – criminal convictions, bankruptcy etc, or go further to make an independent factual check on the claimed employment history and other matters included on their CV and nominations papers? Or even whether the candidates have the skills and experience are being sought as a minimum from suitable candidates.
But the point is that ccNSO members should know at the point they cast their votes that the candidates are all appointable, and any issues are resolved prior to publication of the candidate list.
Best wishes
Nick

Hello Stephen,
The *way forward* you suggested - "*I suggest a more suitable proposal needs to have prospective candidates submit nominations, with appropriate seconds, acceptances, and a signed release for the background check to an appropriate entity within ICANN.ORG <http://ICANN.ORG> without public disclosure of the candidacy at the time.*"
The above approach is already in practice by Nomcom and I have experienced the same. However I believe ICANN.ORG outsources the same. The entire thing was private and at-least I have not seen any information in public domain. Only after the candidate clears the background check, his name was announced. Before that no one knew in public domain that I applied for any position.
Thanks.
