Dear all, we received this call for nominations for next regional NomCom candidates from Adam Peake, the NomCom Chair. And before I started a public consultation on this list, I asked Yrjö Länsipuro our incumbent representative whether he is interested and willing to serve for a second NomCom term. Yrjö did an excellent job at the NomCom last year – being aware that this is a very important, demanding and time-consuming function – and RALOs are supposed to consider their very best candidates for this. Yrjö replied to me that he would be glad and honoured to serve a second term on the NomCom as the EURALO representative what is good news to me, and I would like to thank him most sincerely for all his dedication and commitment. If no objections are raised or other candidates nominated on this list during the next ten days (deadline 23 July at midnight), Yrjö’s name will be submitted (together with potentially new nominees?) for EURALO to the ALAC Chair and the NomCom Chair afterwards. Kind regards, Wolf Adam Peake wrote Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:13:
Dear Olivier, friends.
I am writing to ask that the At Large select its delegates to join the 2012 Nominating Committee (NomCom). Each of the RALOs should select a delegate. As I expect you know, NomCom members may serve for two consecutive terms. Yaovi Atohoun, Eduardo Diaz, and Jose Ovidio Salgueiro served on the 2010 and 2011 NomComs and are now term limited. Yrjo Lansipuro (EURALO) and V. C. Vivekanandan (APRALO) could serve in 2012 if selected.
We would be grateful if you could make your selections by Monday, 15 August.
We hope service on the NomCom will be interesting and rewarding. In 2012 the NomCom will select 3 Directors of the ICANN Board, 2 members if the ALAC, 1 member of the GNSO Council, and one member of the ccNSO Council. Please note the following as you invite volunteers and make your selections:
All 2012 NomCom members should be able to attend the Dakar ICANN meeting, 23-28 October including an additional day Oct 29th when we anticipate the 2012 NomCom will hold its first formal meeting. Travel, accommodational other expenses will be provided.
NomCom delegates should have a high level network of contacts essential to candidate recruitment (and we hope the At Large/RALOs as sending entities will support your delegates and help them with outreach.)
They should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically UTC 13:00.)
Note that the committee's workload will increase significantly during May/June 2012 when the candidate assessment process will be at its busiest. We anticipate holding weekly calls at that time (again typically UTC 13:00).
They must be able to attend the June ICANN meeting, Prague, 24-29 June and NomCom selection meeting expected June 30 and July 1st 2012.
They should be willing to work in a large, consensus-oriented committee.
Please consider geographic diversity of the NomCom when making your selections, also more women members would be helpful (2011 NomCom: of 21 members 10 were Europeans and 6 North Americans, 3 women).
Please send the names of the At Large delegates by Monday, 15 August to Joette Youkhanna <joette.youkhanna@icann.org> and me.
Many thanks,
Adam
