NomCom nomination
by SeB ICANN April 23, 2026

April 23, 2026

Dear EURALO colleagues, ALAC members, and staff, I am writing to express my interest and to submit my self-nomination for the position of ALAC delegate to the NomCom from the European region (EURALO). I am strongly committed to the multistakeholder model. The NomCom plays a vital role in reinforcing ICANN’s multistakeholder approach and in ensuring that the bodies within its remit are equipped with the skills and experience they require. I am highly familiar with ICANN’s mission to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet’s unique identifier systems. Over many years, I have developed a strong understanding of relevant policies and organizational matters through direct participation in their development and implementation. I offer extensive experience within ICANN, having served as an ALAC member, EURALO Chair, and ICANN Board Director. In these roles, I have worked closely with the community and stakeholders across a broad range of organizational matters, including multiple review processes. I am able and willing to devote the time and effort necessary to fully discharge the responsibilities of a NomCom member over the next two years. I have no conflicting financial interests. My involvement with ICANN is solely as a member of the At-Large community. My SOI can be found at https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/atlarge/pages/99721798/S+… Thanks for consideration, All the best -- Sebastien Bachollet Ex-Chair of EURALO President d'honneur Isoc France President Espace SocioCulturel du Val du Sauzay (Nievre France) +33 6 07 66 89 33
