Dear ccNSO, GNSO, GAC, SSAC, and RSSAC Chairs:


*The Board would like to include the proposed integrity screening process
as a topic of discussion with your organization during Tuesday’s
constituency day. The Board looks forward to continuing the discussion of
this issue with you during ICANN61.  *


Background.



On 1 November 2017, ICANN Board Chair Cherine Chalaby reported
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/board-member-integrity-screening> on
several steps that the Board agreed to take around Board Member Integrity
Screening, an issue we had been discussing for a while. These steps
included, among others, the passage of Resolution 2017.11.02.33
<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-11-02-en#2.c>,
which directed ICANN organization to develop and post for public comment
calling on the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs)
that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity screening process to
seriously consider utilizing a due diligence integrity screening process
similar (or identical to) the processed used by the Nominating Committee.



On 2 March, the proposal paper
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrity-screening-process-02mar18-en.pdf>
regarding
the Board Member Integrity Screening was published for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/board-integrity-screening-2018-03-02-en>.
This public comment proceeding seeks community input on the recommendation
that SOs and ACs that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity
screening process similar to the Nominating Committee adopt the proposed
Uniform Board Member Integrity Screening Process
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-uniform-board-integrity-screening-process-02mar18-en.pdf>
to
conduct due diligence on the candidates selected to serve on
the ICANN Board.



The commencement of the public comment proceeding was announced
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/public-comment-period-opens-for-board-member-integrity-screening-process>
by
Becky Burr, as Chair of the Board Governance Committee.  In her blog, Becky
advised that “[t]he Board will include this on the agenda for our sessions
during ICANN61 with relevant Supporting Organizations and Advisory
Committees” that that do not currently employ a due diligence integrity
screening process similar (or identical to) the Nominating Committee.  (
