INSTRUCTIONS

 

  1. Please review the application materials as submitted by the candidates and determine how well they meet the candidate requirements as included in the call for volunteers. See “required knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA’s)” as included here: https://ccnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-13aug24-en.htm

ccNSO candidates are expected to have the support of a ccTLD manager (whether members or non-member of the ccNSO). 

 

  1. Please rank the applicants in order of preference. To do so, please respond to the survey. The link will be sent separately to each of you. Deadline: Wednesday, 4 September 2024 (23:59 UTC).

 

Rank the applicants in order of preference with number one being your most preferred candidate. If you believe a candidate does not qualify for the role, select the relevant checkbox at the end of each row. By selecting the checkbox, that row will be greyed out and will not be included in your ranking order.

 

Important: Please review the materials as submitted by the applicants, and make your decision based on how well the applicants meet the selection criteria as included in the call for volunteers.

 

Thank you and kind regards,

 

Joke Braeken

On 5 September, after closure of the deadline to respond to the survey, based on each of the individual Councillor’s rankings, the Secretariat will prepare the overall ranking of all candidates and report the ranking to the ccNSO Council. The Secretariat will also include a resolution for online decision, to formally appoint the delegate. The ccNSO Secretariat will inform relevant ICANN staff about the outcome of the selection for the ccNSO appointed delegate, and will thank all that stepped forward.
