Dear Alejandra,

This email is a request for the Country Code Names Supporting Organization(ccNSO) to select a delegate to join the 2022 Nominating Committee. 

Specific criteria and requirements regarding the NomCom composition and NomCom delegates are outlined in the ICANN Bylaws in Article 8, Sections 8.2 and 8.4 (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8). 

Attached is the job description for NomCom delegates. Additionally, please note the following as you select and appoint your delegate to the 2022 NomCom:
