Dear colleagues, greetings and a warm hello to you all! Let me wish you a very prosperous 2014, and may it be full of positive surprises, achievements, success stories and much more! As you already know, NomCom shares its monthly report cards and here comes the last Report Card for 2013 - for December! As you will find it from the Report: At its first meeting after the kick-off at ICANN 48 in Buenos Aires a month earlier, the 2014 NomCom reviewed the work of three sub-committees as well as outreach efforts so far and discussed its next steps leading to the call for applications. During the December NomCom call, more updates on the sub-committees related work and outreach efforts have been shared, while next immediate steps have been agreed upon! Will get back with the Report Card for January 2014 as soon as we are ready with our first NomCom meeting of this year! Wishing you all much luck in your initiatives and stay in touch!
