Call for Expressions of Interest for 2018 Nominating Committee Chair and 
Chair-Elect

2 June 2017

ICANN is seeking expressions of interest for leadership roles in the 2018 
Nominating Committee (NomCom) - that of the 2018 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect.

In September 2017, the ICANN Board appointed Hans Petter Holen as the 2017 
Nominating Committee Chair and Zahid Jamil as the 2017 Nominating Committee 
Chair-Elect 
(https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2016-09-15-en#1.d[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_board-2Dmaterial_resolutions-2D2016-2D09-2D15-2Den-231.d&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=r0U6MbxokKV54GZhNf4skv4zgP834IL3XzfYcfXIuW0&s=bYRrZprrbvP4-6_o6IWlCitdOH5fU-6pEuUxC6DPA5w&e=>.)

Article 8, section 8.3(d) of the Bylaws states, "[i]t is anticipated that upon 
the conclusion of the term of the Chair-Elect, the Chair-Elect will be 
appointed by the Board to the position of Chair." While it is anticipated that 
the 2017 NomCom Chair-Elect will become the 2018 NomCom Chair, in support of 
continuous improvement in its accountability and transparency, the NomCom will 
evaluate the performance of the current NomCom leadership, and the results of 
that evaluation will be available to the Board Governance Committee before it 
makes a recommendation to the full Board on 2018 NomCom leadership. These 
reviews will be conducted by an independent third party provider and will 
consist of interviewing other NomCom leadership, NomCom members, and designated 
NomCom staff. The Board Governance Committee (BGC) will utilize the outcomes of 
these reviews in their processes leading up to the Board's formal appointment 
of the 2018 NomCom Chair and Chair-Elect.

The NomCom Chair is responsible for organizing the NomCom in its activities to 
select certain ICANN Board members and individuals who will serve in key 
leadership positions within ICANN's supporting organizations (SOs) and advisory 
committees (ACs) in accordance with ICANN's Bylaws. The Chair is a non-voting 
member of the NomCom selected by ICANN's Board to serve until the conclusion of 
the next ICANN Annual Meeting.

The Chair-Elect, a position created as a result of an independent review of the 
NomCom, is not intended to fill an advisory role. Rather, the Chair-Elect will 
receive the benefit of training while serving alongside the Chair, gaining 
skills and knowledge to be applied for the Chair-Elect's anticipated succession 
into the role of the Chair.

Candidates for Chair-Elect should possess the same skills as candidates for the 
Chair.

Position Description

This position blends time management and negotiation skills with the practical 
aspects of conducting a worldwide search for individuals to fill various ICANN 
leadership positions. The NomCom Chair will be called on to schedule, organize 
and lead numerous in-person and telephonic meetings with a large committee of 
community members. The NomCom Chair is also responsible for managing the 
candidate identification and statement of interest process, with other 
committee members, and for managing the due diligence to be performed on 
nominated candidates, in cooperation with ICANN's General Counsel and any 
retained outside firm(s). Throughout all NomCom activities, the Chair is 
responsible for ensuring that all NomCom operating rules and procedures are 
followed, and that all required documentation and reports are prepared in a 
timely fashion and provided to the proper parties as necessary.

Skills and Experience

To properly serve as the NomCom Chair, the selected individual must have:

  1.  adequate time available to undertake the role;
  2.  excellent communication and negotiation skills to manage a committee of 
20-21 members;
  3.  a clear understanding of the duties and responsibilities of each position 
for which the NomCom is selecting candidates;
  4.  experience on or with a Board of Directors of organizations with similar 
scale, scope and diversity as ICANN;
  5.  strong organization and leadership skills;
  6.  ability to remain unbiased;
  7.  no conflicts of interest, and
  8.  a thorough understanding of, and satisfy, all criteria set forth in ICANN 
Bylaws relating to the NomCom (see 
http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#article8[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_general_bylaws.htm-23article8&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=r0U6MbxokKV54GZhNf4skv4zgP834IL3XzfYcfXIuW0&s=7p5Cr1cJr1Y5TIKys0STLD3_zUlVbxJnqTrCUZ19_0w&e=>).
