Dear all,

As follow-up to Alejandra’s email, included details regarding the Board seat 12  nomination process.

As stated in document the secretariat has mapped out two timelines following the procedural requirement from the ICANN Bylaws, Rules of the ccNSO, applicable Guideline and related Board Resolution.  Based on these requirements, the earliest possible date the nomination process will be concluded is early January 2025, however this includes cutting some corners and expecting that Councillors work through the seasonal break. According to the more realistic scenario, the earliest the nomination process will concluded is by mid- February 2025.

Note that the ccNSO will not be able to nominate an individual for the remainder of Katrina’s term (until the 2024 AGM). Note that John Jeffrey in his note already expressed that his would not be feasible.

The secretariat advises the Council to select the timeline under scenario 2.

Suggest the following the following high level timeline :

• Approval timeline and appointment Joke: 29 August – 3 September
• Announcement Timeline to community -  4 September
• Call for Nominations : 10 September – 27 September + acceptance nomination by candidate(s) – closing date 4 October 2024
• Due Diligence/Background check 8 October – 6 December ( with possible extension, depending on availability/accessibility  background)
• Q&A Candidate statement  (Webinar) in week 22 – 28 January
• Voting: 4 -18 February
• Council Nomination February or March Council meeting
• Designation by ECA

Please use the list if you have any questions/comments

Thursday 29 August I will circulate a draft Council decision to adopt the above timeline and appoint Joke as the Nomination Process Manager

Kind regards,

Bart

Subject: [ccnso-council] Resignation of Board Member Katrina Sataki

Dear Councillors

Katrina has stepped down from Board Seat 12, effective 23 August 2024 (see attachment). Following her resignation, we are formally asked by ICANN to initiate the process to fill the vacancy of Board Seat 12 (see attachment):

1. For the remainder of Katrina’s term until the 2024 AGM (November 2024)
2. For the 3-year term starting at ICANN’s AGM in November 2024 up and until the AGM in 2027.

To start this process, the secretariat will, as usual, put together a timeline. This timeline will follow the requirements of section 10.3 (i) of the Bylaws, the internal Rules of the ccNSO and the applicable Guideline (https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccnso-nominations-icann-board-guideline-15dec22-en.pdf [ccnso.icann.org]) .

Once the timeline has been put together, you’ll be asked to comment and then approve the timeline and appoint Joke as the Nomination Process Manager.

Later today I will also be sending a note to the members, informing that Katrina has stepped down, and that the Council will be launching a Board seat  12 nomination process, once it has agreed on the timeline and appointment of the Nomination Process Manager.

Best regards,
Alejandra
