Dear colleagues! A very warm hello and hope this finds everyone well! This is to get back to you with the traditional, monthly NomCom report card - and so attached find please, the July 2013 Report Card. We, at 2013 Nominating Committee, are now deep into the evaluation phase of our work program. This involves detailed analysis of the record breaking 111 Statements Of Interest (SOI) received this year. As a correction to an early NomCom announcement, 111 is the highest number if SOIs received by any NomCom. Due to the intensity of the evaluation work, the NomCom has continued to meet by teleconference on a weekly basis and will do so until committee members meet face to face at the ICANN Durban meeting in mid July. This meeting will be crucial, and a lot of work, for the NomCom as it considers its final shortlist of candidates. The committee will announce Selected Nominees in September 2013. With warm regards and looking forward to see many of you in Durban soon!
