Dear All, On behalf of Jonathan Zuck, Chair of the ALAC, this is to announce that Alfredo Calderon has been selected to be the ALAC Appointed-NextGen Mentor between ICANN85-87. The selection process consisted of the members of the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee (AASC) reviewing and ranking 14 candidate Expression of Interest (EOI) documents for the position of NextGen Mentor. The AASC sent the name of their selected candidate to the ALAC on 16 October 2025. The ALAC held a Consensus call ending on Monday, 20 October 2025. Please note that until such time as an ALAC Appointee Metrics framework is adopted by the ALAC, the ALAC Appointed-NextGen Mentor will be requested by the ALAC Leadership to participate in selected ALAC/At-Large activities. He/She may also be requested to provide periodic reports on his/her mentorship work. Such reports may be verbal or in written form, and notice will be given to the ALAC Appointee on the timing of such reports. Congratulations to Alfredo. Many thanks to all the candidates that applied for the position of ALAC Appointed-NextGen Mentor.

Call for Expressions of Interest – ICANN Board Seat 15 (2025–2026 Cycle)
by Heidi Ullrich Oct. 17, 2025

Oct. 17, 2025

** La version francaise est en dessous de la version anglaise. ** ** La versión en español está debajo de la versión en francés.** ** Dear At-Large Community Members, On behalf of the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC), we invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals who would like to serve as the ICANN Board Director nominated by the At-Large Community (Seat 15). The successful candidate will begin a three-year term at the close of ICANN87 (2026 Annual General Meeting). Why does this matter? Seat 15 is the only ICANN Board seat chosen directly by the At-Large Community. It has been held since ICANN60 (2017 AGM) by León Sánchez, whose third and final term ends at ICANN87. This is a rare opportunity for an At-Large leader to bring their knowledge and experience to ICANN’s highest level of governance. About the selection process: The BCEC defines candidate requirements, issues the call for applications, and evaluates submissions. The Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC) oversees the timeline and election. Both groups have regionally balanced membership and operate under a strict code of conduct and confidentiality. Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs) may petition to add candidates to the slate. Unsuccessful applicants may have opted for their candidacy to be considered by the RALOs after the BCEC slate is published. The full process is expected to conclude no later than 22 April 2026, when the selected candidate to be nominated as an ICANN Board Member will be announced. For full information, visit the At-Large Board Member Selection Home – 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ABMS/pages/394657793>. How to apply: 1. Review the requirements – At-Large Board Member Candidate Requirements 2025-2026<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/483065909> – Candidate Reference Links & Resources<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/517800468> Please pay special attention to the “Additional Bylaws Qualifications” section to confirm your eligibility. 2. Email the BCEC Staff – Send a brief note indicating your interest to bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org>. – Staff will provide you access to the online EoI Form. 3.

This is your opportunity to contribute your experience, vision, and commitment at ICANN’s highest level of decision-making. We encourage all qualified individuals to step forward. ICANN Policy Staff supporting the At-Large Community ** Sujet : Appel à manifestations d’intérêt pour le siège 15 du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (cycle 2025-2026) Chers membres de la communauté At-Large, Au nom du Comité d’évaluation des candidats au Conseil d’administration (BCEC), nous avons le plaisir de lancer un appel à manifestation d’intérêt pour le poste d’administrateur nominé par la communauté At-Large au Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN (siège 15). La personne retenue entamera un mandat de trois ans à l’issue de l’ICANN87 (Réunion générale annuelle de 2026). Pourquoi cela est-il important ? Le siège 15 est le seul siège du Conseil d’administration de l’ICANN qui soit directement pourvu par la communauté At-Large. Occupé depuis l’ICANN60 (Réunion générale annuelle 2017) par León Sánchez, dont le troisième et dernier mandat s’achèvera à l’ICANN87, ce poste représente une occasion unique pour un leader de la communauté At-Large d’apporter ses connaissances et son expérience au plus haut niveau de la gouvernance de l’ICANN. Le processus de sélection : Le BCEC est chargé de définir les critères de candidature, de publier l’appel à candidatures et d’évaluer les dossiers. De son côté, le Comité chargé du processus de sélection d’un membre du Conseil d’administration (BMSPC) supervise le calendrier et le déroulement de l’élection. Les deux groupes, équilibrés sur le plan régional au niveau de leur composition, s’acquittent de leurs tâches suivant un code de conduite et des règles de confidentialité des plus stricts. Les organisations régionales At-Large (RALO) peuvent proposer l’ajout de noms à la liste des candidats. Les candidats non retenus peuvent avoir choisi que leur candidature soit examinée par les RALO après la publication de la liste du BCEC. L’ensemble du processus devrait s’achever au plus tard le 22 avril 2026, date à laquelle sera annoncé le nom du nouvel administrateur.

FOR COMMENT: Third draft ALAC Appointee Metrics document
by Heidi Ullrich Oct. 16, 2025

Oct. 16, 2025

Dear All, On behalf of the ALAC Leadership Team, please find for your input the third draft ALAC Appointee Metrics document (see:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tL0yOViFberRJLmoFzsiq8VqUkk8x5oQdgp…) which was reported on during the ALAC Monthly Call of September 2025. Having previously received comments from a select group of current and immediate past ALAC Appointees, followed by a round of rationalization by ALAC members, comments are now invited from the At-Large Community members. Please add your input by way of the comment function, by 15 November 2025 at 23:59 UTC. This draft should be considered part of a larger continuous improvement effort for the ALAC, consistent with the ALAC Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) initiative. It seeks to establish both an ALAC Appointee's and the At-Large Community's understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each ALAC Appointee (which includes the ALAC Liaisons and Representatives) and the standards expected of them. In the same manner, it is also meant to serve as guidance for any At-Large Community member who wishes to be considered for any of the roles included in the document, as and when a vacancy is to be filled by the ALAC. A final version of this document is anticipated to be proposed to the ALAC, after community comments, revision (if necessary) and settlement, for adoption as an adjunct document to the ALAC Rules of Procedures (i.e., ALAC Rules of Procedure Adjunct Document – Metrics and Remedial Actions for Appointees). Kind regards, Heidi Heidi Ullrich, PhD VP, Policy Development & At-Large Relations Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +1 310 437 3956 Fax: +1 310 823 8649 Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/>
