I think Council needs to submit a reasoned response to this. I'm happy to draft, provided we have some opinions . . . (I suspect we do, given recent events) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [cctldcommunity] survey: NomCom2 review Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 09:44:10 +0000 From: Joke Braeken <joke.braeken@icann.org> To: ccnso-members@icann.org <ccnso-members@icann.org>, ccTLDcommunity@cctld-managers.org <ccTLDcommunity@cctld-managers.org>, ccnso-council@icann.org <ccnso-council@icann.org> Dear all, The Analysis Group, the independent examiner conducting the second review of the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom2), announced a survey to collect input from those who have interacted with NomCom and/or have ideas for ways to improve it. This is an invitation to share your input by taking the survey: http://nomcomsurvey.cloudssi.com/[nomcomsurvey.cloudssi.com] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nomcomsurvey.cloudssi.co...>. ** *Background* The NomCom plays a critical role within ICANN. It nominates appointees to the ICANN Board, the Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) Board, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) and Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Councils, and the At-Large Advisory Committee. Organizational reviews are mandated by ICANN Bylaws Section 4[icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources...>. This organizational review (https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/org ) will assess how effectively the NomCom is operating, how well it is achieving its purpose, and if it is accountable to the multistakeholder community. *Next Steps* Following the survey, the independent examiner will attend ICANN60 to conduct further review work. The draft final report of the independent examiner will be posted for public comment, and the review is expected to conclude by mid-2018. *NomCom Resources* * NomCom Review wiki page: https://community.icann.org/x/ER24Aw[community.icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_E...> * NomCom homepage: https://www.icann.org/nomcom2017[icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_nomcom201...> Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken@icann.org <mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org
