in Buenos Aires, Argentina.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The NomCom is charged with
recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's leadership. The NomCom is
mandated to ensure that overall ICANN's leadership is diverse in geography,
culture, skills, experience, and perspective. The basic criteria is that
selectees are people of integrity, objectivity and sound judgment, can support
decision-making within groups, can work effectively in English, have an
understanding of ICANN's mission and operation, are committed to its success,
experienced in world affairs, contribute to cultural, professional and
geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers in the global
public trust.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Balancing Confidentiality
with Transparency<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Discussing the 2013
Nominating Committee results, Yrjö Länsipuro, the Chair of the 2013 NomCom,
shared the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I am very happy to report
that the 2013 NomCom reached a unanimous decision about the entire slate of selectees
at our meeting in Durban, South Africa, immediately after the 47th ICANN
meeting in that city.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>There were 110 candidates, a
record number reached only once before (2003). This number reflects a growing
interest for ICANN leadership positions, and also the strong outreach efforts
by the 2013 NomCom. I want to thank all candidates and encourage those
whom we could not select this time, to keep up their interest in ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The 2013 NomCom was committed
to striking a new balance between the imperative for confidentiality and
protecting the privacy of the candidates, with the need to ensure that the
NomCom processes are up to ICANN standards of openness and transparency.
Accordingly, while maintaining strict confidentiality of candidate specific
information, we held NomCom meetings in Beijing and Durban that were open to
all community members, both in person and online. We also issued monthly
progress report cards of our work to all constituencies and stakeholder groups
represented on the committee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Last but not least, I want to
thank all NomCom members, and ICANN staff supporting the NomCom, for their
commitment to a year of very hard work and carrying it through with
persistence, in a cooperative, constructive and collegial spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Regional
Breakdown<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>As noted above, the 2013
NomCom received 110 Statements of Interest from candidates all over the world
(27 female and 83 male), during its open nomination period from 7 November 2012
to 15 May 2013. </span><span lang=FR-BE style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
