The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN) Nominating

Applications are invited for the following positions:

across boundaries of knowledge, responsibility, culture and geography. They
will be making a valuable public service contribution towards the
functioning and evolution of this essential global resource. Guided by the
broad public interest, those selected will work to fulfill ICANN's mission

particular to ensure its stable and secure operation.

Background:

The NomCom is an independent committee tasked with selecting eight members
of the Board of Directors and other key positions within ICANN's structure.

It is designed to function independently from the ICANN Board, Supporting
Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom members act only on behalf
of the interests of the global Internet community and within the scope of
the ICANN mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws.

NomCom members contribute understanding of the broad interests of the
Internet community as a whole, and knowledge and experience of specific
Internet constituencies who have appointed them.

The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive
consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations
and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to
their appointing bodies.

NomCom members are accountable for adherence to the ICANN Bylaws and for
compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom.
