Call for Expressions of Interest – ICANN Board Seat 15 (2025–2026 Cycle)
by Heidi Ullrich Oct. 17, 2025

Oct. 17, 2025

** 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.

FOR COMMENT: Third draft ALAC Appointee Metrics document
by Heidi Ullrich Oct. 16, 2025

Oct. 16, 2025

Dear All, On behalf of the ALAC Leadership Team, please find for your input the third draft ALAC Appointee Metrics document (see:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tL0yOViFberRJLmoFzsiq8VqUkk8x5oQdgp…) which was reported on during the ALAC Monthly Call of September 2025. Having previously received comments from a select group of current and immediate past ALAC Appointees, followed by a round of rationalization by ALAC members, comments are now invited from the At-Large Community members. Please add your input by way of the comment function, by 15 November 2025 at 23:59 UTC. This draft should be considered part of a larger continuous improvement effort for the ALAC, consistent with the ALAC Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) initiative. It seeks to establish both an ALAC Appointee's and the At-Large Community's understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each ALAC Appointee (which includes the ALAC Liaisons and Representatives) and the standards expected of them. In the same manner, it is also meant to serve as guidance for any At-Large Community member who wishes to be considered for any of the roles included in the document, as and when a vacancy is to be filled by the ALAC. A final version of this document is anticipated to be proposed to the ALAC, after community comments, revision (if necessary) and settlement, for adoption as an adjunct document to the ALAC Rules of Procedures (i.e., ALAC Rules of Procedure Adjunct Document – Metrics and Remedial Actions for Appointees).
