The deadline to submit a completed EOI has been extended to Sunday, 23 November at 23:59 UTC. 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. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Sunday, 23 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Kind regards, BCEC Support Staff *** ** 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. Complete the EOI Form – Submit by 23:59 UTC on Friday, 21 November 2025. – List three to four referees who are willing to provide a written reference at short notice. Questions? Please email bcec-staff(a)icann.org<mailto:bcec-staff@icann.org> for clarification. 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.

*REGISTRATION* APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework” on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC
by Gisella Gruber Nov. 19, 2025

Nov. 19, 2025

Dear All, Please join us for the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar: “ICANN Global Public Interest Framework”, scheduled on Monday, 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The ICANN Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF)<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/109576887/G…> is a set of guidelines developed to help the ICANN community understand how ICANN Board decisions relate to the global public interest. It was designed to facilitate a bottom-up, multistakeholder approach to identifying the public interest in decisions, but not to change how those decisions are made. The framework underwent a pilot program - completed in October 2023 - and now offers a toolkit - the GPIF Checklist<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uVOXywoowxvM1Hn5GuCkkinuZiMc4smc/ed…> - for community groups to use voluntarily (see: ICANN wiki<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/twKIBg>). Join the APRALO Policy Forum Webinar on 24 November 2025 at 06:00 UTC for 60 minutes, where Barkha Manral will be inviting Avri Doria, a co-chair of ICANN’s Review of Reviews Cross Community Group (RoR CCG), co-chair of the At Large Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and former ICANN Board Member, to discuss the GPIF, and where participants can expect to gain an understanding of: * The origins of the Global Public Interest Framework (GPIF): why it was developed, how it works. * How the ICANN Board has used the GPIF in its decision-making. * How the At-Large community can leverage the GPIF in its own policy and advocacy work. * Opportunities to evolve and shape the future application of the GPIF.
