Subject: REQUEST: ccNSO Delegate to the ICANN 2021 Nominating Committee - Due by Friday, 19 June 2020

Dear Katrina Sataki,

This email is a request for the ccNSO to select a delegate to join the 2021 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). Additionally, please note the following as you select and appoint your delegate to the 2020 NomCom:

• The ICANN community is diverse and the composition of the NomCom should reflect this in order to fulfill its mission.   
• NomCom delegates should have a high-level network of contacts essential to candidate recruitment.
• Eligibility Exception - Current ICANN employees or paid ICANN consultants (including Ombudsman) are excluded from consideration for eligibility as described in Article 8, Section 8.2 of ICANN’s Bylaws (https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article8).
• The delegate should be able to join monthly teleconferences. Note that the NomCom's workload will increase significantly during the candidate assessment process. Conference calls are held more frequently during this time as well (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up to three hours).
• All NomCom members should have the ability travel to and participate in ICANN Public meetings and NomCom meetings when requested (travel and hotel accommodations will be provided for all meetings).

The NomCom has a procedures document that provides additional information about the work of the NomCom. The 2021 NomCom will be selecting people to fill the following positions:

• Three members of the ICANN Board of Directors.
• Three regional representatives to the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) – one from the Asia, Australia, and Pacific Islands region, one from the Latin America and Caribbean Islands region, one from the Africa region.
• Two members of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council.
• One member of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council.

We would appreciate that you acknowledge receipt of this message, and please send the name of the ccNSO delegate no later than Friday, 19 June 2020 to NomCom Operations Staff at nomcom-ops-team@icann.org.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Nominating Committee Operations Team
