The role is a one-year term beginning at || the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN 81 in || November 2024 . Please refer to [ https://www.icann.org/nomcom2024 | this page || ] for more information about the Nominating Committee. I have also copied below || the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v 8 : Operational Procedures” for your || reference. || With this notice, a four-week nomination period via this distribution list is || now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a || second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a || statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will || close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 2 9 April 2024 . The RSSAC will then consider the || slate of candidates during its May teleconference. || As you may recall, ICANN Board approved some of the recommendations coming from || the second organizational review of the ICANN NomCom and updated the ICANN || Bylaws in October 2023. As a result, RSSAC appointee to the 2025 NomCom will be || a voting delegate. In addition, NomCom delegates will serve two-year terms || moving forward; however, RSSAC is among the groups that will start with a || one-year term in 2025 NomCom for the purposes of staggering delegate terms - [ || https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article27 | see || section 27.5(a) ] . Finally, according to the Section 27.5(d) of ICANN Bylaws, || “no person who served either or both of the two prior Nominating Committees || (with terms ending at the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2023 and 2024) is || eligible for appointment to the Nominating Committee term commencing at the || conclusion of the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2024.” RSSAC appointed Hiro || Hotta and Naveed bin Rais to 2023 and 2024 ICANN NomCom, respectively. Naveed’s || one-year term will conclude by ICANN 81 , the Annual General Meeting. || The RSSAC Leadership appreciates your consideration. Please do not hesitate to || contact the RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair or support staff with any questions or || concerns. || Best, || Ozan Sahin on behalf of || Jeff Osborn, RSSAC Chair and Ken Renard, RSSAC Vice Chair || 1.2.7.6 Outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee || The outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in || the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN || Nominating Committee shall be two years. No individual may serve as a delegate || for more than two terms. In addition, no individual may serve in consecutive || terms. An individual will only be eligible to serve a second term as a delegate || on the Nominating Committee if a minimum of two years has elapsed between the || end of their term and the beginning of the term for which they are being || selected. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN || Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election || procedure (Section 1.2.7.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing || RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the || RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be || coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires || discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. || 1.2.7.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison Election Procedure || One month prior to each election, nominations will be accepted for the outgoing || liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the || meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced || agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate || their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. || The RSSAC uses ranked choice voting, as outlined in Section 1.4.3 for electing || outgoing liaison positions. In the event that only one candidate is standing || for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. || The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the || reciprocating body. || If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new || outgoing liaison through this process. || _______________________________________________ || rssac-caucus mailing list || [ mailto:rssac-caucus@icann.org | rssac-caucus@icann.org ] || [ https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/rssac-caucus | || https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/rssac-caucus ] || _______________________________________________ || By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal || data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN || Privacy Policy ( [ https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy | || https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy ] ) and the website Terms of Service ( [ || https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos | https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos ] ).
