|| Dear RSSAC Caucus Members,

|| This is a reminder about the nomination period for the RSSAC Delegate to the 202
|| 5 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). We have received one self-nomination
|| from Erum Welling so far. Robert Story provided a second for Erum’s nomination.

|| The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 2 9 April 2024 . If you
|| would like to be considered for appointment, please indicate your interest on
|| the RSSAC Caucus mailing list before the deadline.

|| Subject: Nomination Period: RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee

|| Dear RSSAC Caucus members,

|| It is time to begin the selection process for the RSSAC Delegate to the 202 5
|| ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). The role is a one-year term beginning at
|| the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN 81 in
|| November 2024 . Please refer to [ https://www.icann.org/nomcom2024 | this page
|| ] for more information about the Nominating Committee. I have also copied below
|| the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v 8 : Operational Procedures” for your
|| reference.

|| With this notice, a four-week nomination period via this distribution list is
|| now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a
|| second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a
|| statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will
|| close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 2 9 April 2024 . The RSSAC will then consider the
|| slate of candidates during its May teleconference.

|| As you may recall, ICANN Board approved some of the recommendations coming from
|| the second organizational review of the ICANN NomCom and updated the ICANN
|| Bylaws in October 2023. As a result, RSSAC appointee to the 2025 NomCom will be
|| a voting delegate. In addition, NomCom delegates will serve two-year terms
|| moving forward; however, RSSAC is among the groups that will start with a
|| one-year term in 2025 NomCom for the purposes of staggering delegate terms - [
|| https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article27 | see
|| section 27.5(a) ] . Finally, according to the Section 27.5(d) of ICANN Bylaws,
|| “no person who served either or both of the two prior Nominating Committees
|| (with terms ending at the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2023 and 2024) is
|| eligible for appointment to the Nominating Committee term commencing at the
|| conclusion of the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2024.” RSSAC appointed Hiro
|| Hotta and Naveed bin Rais to 2023 and 2024 ICANN NomCom, respectively. Naveed’s
|| one-year term will conclude by ICANN 81 , the Annual General Meeting.

|| The RSSAC Leadership appreciates your consideration. Please do not hesitate to
|| contact the RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair or support staff with any questions or
|| concerns.

|| Best,

|| Ozan Sahin on behalf of

|| Jeff Osborn, RSSAC Chair and Ken Renard, RSSAC Vice Chair

|| 1.2.7.6 Outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee

|| The outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in
|| the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN
|| Nominating Committee shall be two years. No individual may serve as a delegate
|| for more than two terms. In addition, no individual may serve in consecutive
|| terms. An individual will only be eligible to serve a second term as a delegate
|| on the Nominating Committee if a minimum of two years has elapsed between the
|| end of their term and the beginning of the term for which they are being
|| selected. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN
|| Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election
|| procedure (Section 1.2.7.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing
|| RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the
|| RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be
|| coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires
|| discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment.

|| 1.2.7.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison Election Procedure

|| One month prior to each election, nominations will be accepted for the outgoing
|| liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the
|| meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced
|| agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate
|| their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination.

|| The RSSAC uses ranked choice voting, as outlined in Section 1.4.3 for electing
|| outgoing liaison positions. In the event that only one candidate is standing
|| for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation.

|| The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the
|| reciprocating body.

|| If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new
|| outgoing liaison through this process.
