<H2 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; CLEAR: left">ICANN 2011 Nominating Committee
Announces Selections</H2>
<P style="MARGIN: 15px 0px 0px">5 August 2011</P>
<P>The 2011 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections
for eight leadership positions within ICANN.</P>
<P>The NomCom's Chair, Adam Peake, said "We are very pleased to have been able
to select such high quality people to join ICANN. They are a great group,
bringing skills and experience that will serve the community well. It's been a
tough job, the NomCom had to choose from a very strong applicant pool, with
many highly qualified candidates for every position, including a record number
of female applicants. After many hours of teleconferences and meetings, and
then almost two and half days of discussion locked away in a room in
Singapore, we reached unanimous agreement on all the selected nominees and the
overall slate that includes individuals from China, Germany, Jamaica,
Malaysia, Nigeria, Philippines and United States. Thanks to my committee for
their hard work, and on behalf of all the NomCom a very sincere Thank You to
all 88 candidates who gave their time and effort in volunteering to help
ICANN".</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>The NomCom evaluated over eighty-eight candidates, many of whom with
exceptional qualifications in relation to the key criteria as set out in the
ICANN Bylaws. With such a rich pool of candidates and very few seats to fill,
the NomCom found itself unable to appoint all the applicants the Committee
members would have desired to see on the Board and on the other bodies.</P>
