Congratulations Njeri, Wanjira. This is a big honor but also much hard
work ahead. I was with George Sadowsky, Chair NOMMCOM, and Marylyn Cade
on the same flight yesterday and they did not break the good news until
I saw your mail this morning. Best wishes.

> >> domain names and numeric addresses that are used to reach all computers 
> >> on the Internet. ICANN's mission is to ensure the stable and secure

> >> "We are pleased that excellent candidates from all five geographic

> >> reflects the Internet community's considerable reserve of talent, 
> >> experience, and willingness to undertake these volunteer leadership roles 
> >> essential to ICANN's evolution and continued technical coordination on 
> >> behalf of the entire global Internet user community."
> >> In response to its Formal Call of 22 April 2005, the NomCom received 72 
> >> Statements of Interest and selected 8 outstanding individuals for 
> >> staggered terms in these leadership roles in ICANN. The terms range from 
> >> twenty-four to thirty-six months in length. Two individuals were selected 
> >> to serve on the Board of Directors; three individuals were selected to 
> >> fill seats designated for individuals from the Latin America, Asia 
> >> Pacific and African regions on the Interim At-Large Advisory Committee 
> >> (which coordinates participation by individual Internet users in ICANN's 
> >> activities); one individual was selected for the Council of the Country 
> >> Code Names Supporting Organization (which administers and coordinates the 
> >> affairs of the ccNSO and manages the policy development process of the 
> >> ccNSO); and two individuals were selected for the Council of the Generic 
> >> Names Supporting Organization (which develops policy concerning domain 
> >> names in generic top-level domains such as .com, .net, .org, .info, and 
> >> .biz).
> >>
> >> The NomCom was asked to find high-caliber, experienced, open-minded men 
> >> and women with integrity, sound judgment, and objectivity. "The committee 
> >> focused on the careful selection of slates of candidates whose skills and 
> >> perspectives complemented each other and who fulfilled the ICANN criteria 
> >> and eligibility requirements for each of the four roles to be filled, 
> >> keeping all the candidates under consideration until the final slates 
> >> were chosen," Sadowsky explained.
> >>
> >> Through these strategies the NomCom pursued its dual charge: to balance 
> >> the ICANN leadership selection processes which are based on Supporting 
> >> Organizations and Constituencies and to help ensure that ICANN can 
> >> benefit from the leadership of the men and women of the highest integrity 
> >> and capability who place the interest of the global Internet community 
> >> ahead of any particular interests. These carefully selected slates will 
> >> help ICANN ensure functional, cultural, and geographic diversity in its 
> >> policy development and decision-making as the Internet itself evolves.
> >>
> >> The Nominating Committee:
> >>
> >> An independent Nominating Committee is a key element of the ICANN 
> >> structure. It is composed of a diverse set of individuals chosen by the 
> >> groups and entities that make up ICANN. The NomCom is charged to act in 
> >> the interests of the global Internet community rather than in accord with 
> >> specific interests. On a long term basis, the committee is presently 
> >> responsible for selecting 8 of 15 Board Directors, 5 of 15 Interim ALAC 
> >> Members, 3 of 18 ccNSO Council Members and 3 of 15 GNSO Council Members. 
> >> In the current process, 8 of these positions needed to be filled.
