Nominating Committee Recruitment Preparations in Place for 10 Leadership
Positions
The 2019 Nominating Committeeâ??s (NomComâ??s) initiatives to fill 10 open
leadership positions continue in earnest
(visit:https://www.icann.org/nomcom2019for more information). Three NomCom
sub-committees (Job Description, Character, and Qualities (JDCQ); Application
Form; and Outreach)have completed a guide outlining the job description and
desired candidate traits, and updated the application form. These
sub-committees are alsocontinuing their efforts to identify a highly motivated
and talented pool of diverse individuals.
The JDCQ sub-committee sought feedback fromICANNBoard members in order to draft
an accurate job description and to identify traits that candidates should
possess to perform effectively as a member of the Board. TheJDCQ sub-committee
members integrated the feedback received with information from their own work
and discussions. The approved job description and list of traits are available
to potential candidates here:https://www.icann.org/nomcom2019.
The Application Form sub-committee revised the application form based
onfeedback from 2018 NomCom applicants. The three most common concerns were
multiple requests for the same information when applying for multiple
positions, form length, and clear instructions.Another equally important
concern involved some applicantsâ?? perception that the form was biased
againstICANNoutsiders. In response, the Application Form sub-committee
streamlined and shortened the form to avoid duplication of information required
by applicants seeking multiple positions and made revisions to address bias
concerns. In addition to seeking information about
applicantsâ??ICANNengagement, the revised form seeks information about
applicantsâ??broader Internet development and governance experience. It also
includes four separate questions about the applicantâ??s executive management
background and experience as a board or trustee member.
We are excited thatICANNsupport staff introduced a new and more
user-friendlyonline application platformwhere applicants no longer must perform
a two-step process to complete their application and can now simply create an
account, complete the form, upload new data, and save at their own pace.
The Outreach sub-committee continues its work to identify highly-motivated
talented individuals willing to serve in the 10 open leadership positions and
to elicit an array of applicants who reflectICANNâ??s diverse community of
individuals from all regions of the world. Outreach sub-committee members
sought information from current and former Board members for input and ideas
regarding outreach. This sub-committee employs a two-fold approach that
involves the participation of its members to spread the message in their
respective communities and through external channels such as academic
institutions, chambers of commerce, and executive associations. Outreach
efforts will continue until the close of the application period.
The NomCom will continue its work to streamline these processes for applicants
and remindsICANN community members and their contacts to submitcompleted
applications before22 March 2019 at 23:59 (UTC).
