Those selected will take up their positions after the end of ICANN's Annual
General Meeting, which will take place during the ICANN Public Meeting
scheduled for 18-22 October 2015 in Dublin, Ireland.

The NomCom is charged with recruiting and selecting a portion of ICANN's
leadership. The NomCom is mandated to ensure that ICANN's overall
leadership is diverse in geography, culture, skills, experience and
perspective. The basic criteria is that selectees are people of integrity,
objectivity, sound judgment, support decision-making within groups, work
effectively in English, understand ICANN's mission and operation, are
committed to its success, have experience in world affairs, contribute to
cultural, professional and geographic expertise, and can work long and
hard, generally as volunteers, for the global public trust.
An independent body at the community's service

Discussing the 2015 Nominating Committee results, Stephane Van Gelder, the
Chair of the 2015 NomCom, shared the following:

"As Chair, it is my honor, pleasure and duty to report that the 2015
Nominating Committee has completed the task assigned to it by the ICANN
Community and made the selections shown above.

By the close of the application period on 15 March 2015, the 2015
Nominating Committee had received 81 applications for the nine positions it
was tasked with filling.

Once this work was completed, the 2015 Nominating Committee was then called
upon to select a replacement for the position of North American ALAC
representative, following the resignation of its previous selectee to that
position and received nine applications for that position.

I want to thank the Nominating Committee members for working diligently
through these two separate processes. It is rare that a NomCom gets called
back to reselect for another position once its main slate for the cycle has
been decided. This year's members had to withstand the added pressure of
this late selection, whilst continuing to work as a group fully independent
of ICANN's SOs, ACs and the Board. They rose to this challenge and
completed their assigned tasks with aplomb and integrity.

Throughout the year, the Committee has reported on its processes through
Report Cards, video updates and documents published on its webpage (
https://www.icann.org/nomcom2015).

During this year's Annual General Meeting in Dublin in October, the
Committee will present the ICANN Community with a Final Report detailing
its work and providing in-depth data on the applications received."

Regional Breakdown

As noted above, the 2015 NomCom received 81 Statements of Interest from

The regional breakdown of this year's candidates is:
