It is the understanding of Council that according to ICANN Bylaw Article 8.8, a person who serves on the NomCom may not be selected for the ccNSO Council by the members, while serving on the NomCom. 5. To ensure the interpretation is correct and to include a provision in the ccNSO internal procedure, post iCANN 75 ICANN legal will be asked to share their opinion on the interpretation on the scope of ICANN Bylaw Article 8.8 ( see below strawman for your consideration) 6. To avoid any issues, Chris has stepped down as ccNSO appointed delegate to the 2023 NomCom and the chair of the NomCom, has been informed accordingly. 7. The 2023 NomCom has not yet been convened.

This could be mitigated if – as stated in section 9.2 of the Guideline - the procedure does not provide guidance and/or the impact is unreasonable to conduct the business of the ccNSO. However, the impact of using the procedure would effectively only increase fairness and the acceptability of the result. 2. Following section 8.1 of the same ccNSO internal procedure, the Council is expected to “initiate a process i.e. whenever a position needs to be filled, the ccNSO Council shall appoint a member of the secretariat to manage the process (the Process Manager) and adopt a timeline, which includes the major milestones.

As a result, and to avoid any potential issues when made aware of Article 8.8, this person stepped down from serving on the NomCom in the hope to be elected as Councillor again by the ccNSO membership. Further, in the past the ccNSO Council has selected a Councillor to serve, however that person’s term did not conclude while serving on the NomCom. Going forward, the ccNSO Council would appreciate your opinion on the scope of Article 8.8 to ensure the ccNSO internal selection procedure will be aligned with the Bylaws again, specifically, Would Article 8.8 preclude the selection of a Councillor to serve on the NomCom? Would it make a difference if this person was selected by the ccNSO members or appointed by NomCom? Would Article 8.8 preclude a person from being selected (nominated and if needed elected) as a ccNSO Councillor by the ccNSO members, while serving on the NomCom? Would it make a difference if that person was already a Councillor?
Just 1 brief point…
The 2023 NomCom has not yet been convened. This is expected to take place after closure of ICANN75. All delegates to the NomCom, including the ccNSO appointed delegate are expected to attend the first NomCom meeting.
That’s not correct. The Nom Comm will meet at the beginning of and during ICANN 75. Cheers, Chris Disspain chris@disspain.uk +44 7880 642456

Dear John,
Recently the ccNSO Council has run into the issue that one of its members was selected to serve on the NomCom and this person’s term on Council would end in March 2023 halfway through the expected term of service on the NomCom. As a result, and to avoid any potential issues when made aware of Article 8.8, this person stepped down from serving on the NomCom in the hope to be elected as Councillor again by the ccNSO membership.
Further, in the past the ccNSO Council has selected a Councillor to serve, however that person’s term did not conclude while serving on the NomCom.
Going forward, the ccNSO Council would appreciate your opinion on the scope of Article 8.8 to ensure the ccNSO internal selection procedure will be aligned with the Bylaws again, specifically,
Would Article 8.8 preclude the selection of a Councillor to serve on the NomCom? Would it make a difference if this person was selected by the ccNSO members or appointed by NomCom?
Would Article 8.8 preclude a person from being selected (nominated and if needed elected) as a ccNSO Councillor by the ccNSO members, while serving on the NomCom? Would it make a difference if that person was already a Councillor?
