Nomination Call for ASO Representative to 2021 ICANN Nominating Committee

ICANN’s Nominating Committee (NomCom) is responsible for the selection 
of eight ICANN Board Members, two directors of the Public Technical 
Identifiers (PTI) and for other selections as are set forth in the 
Bylaws (see Article 8, Section 8.1).

The NomCom is also charged with appointing some members of the ALAC, 
ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other 
means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved 
within ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Councils.

As per the ICANN Bylaws (Article 8, Section 8.2), the Address Supporting 
Organization Address Council (ASO AC) is pleased to invite nominations 
for candidates from the “Internet Numbers Community” to run for an open 
seat on the ICANN NomCom 2021 as delegate of the ASO.

The term for the selected delegate will be one year starting in ICANN 69 
in Hamburg, Germany, in October 2020 (see Article 8, Section 8.3 for 
term limits).

All ICANN Bylaws described above can be found here:

Time Commitment for the ASO NomCom Representative

The person should be able to join (in person - ONLY when it is safe to 
travel and travel restrictions are lifted), three ICANN (69, 70 and 71) 
meetings and an intersessional meeting (location decided by NomCom 
2020). Travel support for all meetings is provided by ICANN.

- ICANN69 - Annual General Meeting - 17-22 October 2020 – Hamburg - EUR

(Location tentative)

In 2020 due to COVID-19, the NomCom has only conducted online meetings 
and this may continue in 2021 unless and until it is safe to travel. 
Online meetings take more time per week compared to in-person. Please 
review the time commitments in view of COVID-19. In case global travel 
resumes and there is an in-person meeting, travel support will be 
provided by ICANN. The ICANN NomCom has a set of guidelines and 
procedural documents available here for reference that provide 
additional information about the work of the NomCom.

The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically 
15:00 or 16:00 UTC). Note that the committee’s workload will increase 
significantly during Apr/May/June 2021 when the candidate assessment 
process will be at its busiest. Conference calls are held more 
frequently (typically weekly) and the duration of the calls may last up 
to 3 hours during this time.
