> The 2009 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its selections
> for nine leadership positions within ICANN.
>
> NomCom Chair, Tricia Drakes, said "We are delighted to announce this year's
> selectees to ICANN's leadership. They include highly accomplished
> individuals from Russia, India, Malaysia, Jamaica, Argentina, Chile and the
> United States. The Committee's hard work has given us a result that we
> believe balances continuity and diversity, and includes the selection of the
> youngest ever member to serve on the ICANN Board. We have added some new
> faces to the mix, but I hope the community will agree that there is a real
> depth of experience as well."
>
> The NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's
> community leadership. NomCom works to make sure that, overall, ICANN's
> leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills, experience, and
> perspective. The basic criteria are that nominees are people of integrity,
> objectivity and judgment, can help group decision-making, can work
> effectively through English, have an understanding of ICANN's mission and
> work, are committed to its success, contribute to cultural, professional and
> geographic expertise, and can work long and hard as volunteers working in
> the global public trust.
>
> The NomCom evaluated over eighty candidates, many of whom were unusually
> strong, against key criteria set out in the ICANN Bylaws. The Committee also
> wanted to include some of those with skills, expertise and experience in
> some of the important new areas where ICANN may face challenges throughout
> the organization over the next few years, including IDNs (internationalized
> domain names). The Committee took very seriously the evolving and increasing
> importance of independent Board directors, and in so doing found itself
> unable to appoint to the Board some very experienced applicants whom it
> might otherwise have wished to do so.
