Hi Katrina, I would add the following idea in the body text: “We encourage NomCom to consider geographical and gender diversity as important criteria for making its selection of appointees.” Concerning the criteria, I support Giovanni’s remark + would suggest following edits - previous experience with non-for-profit organisations or membership organisations (of all sizes) - previous experience with policy work. - experience with evaluating staff or candidates for various functions - knowledge of the role and perspective of country-code Top Level Domains and their position within the global ICANN community - general knowledge about ICANN, its mission and structure. - general knowledge about the architecture and functioning of the internet Best Peter From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv> Date: Wednesday, 21 November 2018 at 10:49 To: 'ccNSO Council' <ccnso-council@icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Specific requirements for NomCom appointed councillors Dear Colleagues, The 2019 Nominating Committee (NomCom) is planning to open NomCom application cycle mid-January 2019 and welcomes any updates to the ccNSO skill sets/criteria descriptions that we may have.
