	ICANN 2011 Nominating Committee Announces Selections

	5 August 2011

	The 2011 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) has completed its
selections for eight leadership positions within ICANN.

	The NomCom's Chair, Adam Peake, said "We are very pleased to
have been able to select such high quality people to join ICANN. They
are a great group, bringing skills and experience that will serve the
community well. It's been a tough job, the NomCom had to choose from a
very strong applicant pool, with many highly qualified candidates for
every position, including a record number of female applicants. After
many hours of teleconferences and meetings, and then almost two and half
days of discussion locked away in a room in Singapore, we reached
unanimous agreement on all the selected nominees and the overall slate
that includes individuals from China, Germany, Jamaica, Malaysia,
Nigeria, Philippines and United States. Thanks to my committee for their
hard work, and on behalf of all the NomCom a very sincere Thank You to
all 88 candidates who gave their time and effort in volunteering to help
ICANN".

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

	The NomCom evaluated over eighty-eight candidates, many of whom
with exceptional qualifications in relation to the key criteria as set
out in the ICANN Bylaws. With such a rich pool of candidates and very
few seats to fill, the NomCom found itself unable to appoint all the
applicants the Committee members would have desired to see on the Board
and on the other bodies.
