THE BOARD LOOKS FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE WITH YOU DURING ICANN61. Background. On 1 November 2017, ICANN Board Chair Cherine Chalaby reported [1] on several steps that the Board agreed to take around Board Member Integrity Screening, an issue we had been discussing for a while. These steps included, among others, the passage of Resolution 2017.11.02.33 [2], which directed ICANN organization to develop and post for public comment calling on the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process to seriously consider utilizing a due diligence integrity screening process similar (or identical to) the processed used by the Nominating Committee. On 2 March, the proposal paper [3] regarding the Board Member Integrity Screening was published for public comment [4]. This public comment proceeding seeks community input on the recommendation that SOs and ACs that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process similar to the Nominating Committee adopt the proposed Uniform Board Member Integrity Screening Process [3] to conduct due diligence on the candidates selected to serve on the ICANN Board. The commencement of the public comment proceeding was announced [5] by Becky Burr, as Chair of the Board Governance Committee. In her blog, Becky advised that “[t]he Board will include this on the agenda for our sessions during ICANN61 with relevant Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees” that that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process similar (or identical to) the Nominating Committee.
