We are moving to the Phase Four of the ICANN NOMCOM As you can see we are behind schedule and facing serious challenges for face to face meetings to come up with the final selection. [image: image.png] In summary - Based on around 40 virtual one hour interviews with candidates, done by small teams of NomCom members, - We had four rounds of virtual discussions in July 2020 - We now have produced for each of the seven positions shortlists. - For the two positions in the ICANN Board we have seven candidates on the shortlist. - PTI Board, GNSO, CNSO and ALAC we have a smaller shortlists. *Next Step * The NOMCOM despite the COVID 19 situation we are considering various options for the next phase Note " Due to the ICANN Bylaws , we need to make our final selection 8 weeks before the Annual Meeting, which would be mid August. Option One To create regional ( geographical hubs) and to have a decentralized process . ie North American members of the committee would meet in US or Canada. This is someone problematic for people returning to Canada which is subject to a two week quarantine Option Two To continue interviews using ZOOM As of today we are leaving our options open for the selection process and the committee is committed to the process.
