I am a member of this year's ICANN nominating committee. Our task is
to select people to join a number of ICANN's representative policy
making bodies, including the ICANN board. This is my second year as a
member of the nomcomm, I hope we will receive many quality candidates
from the Asia & Pacific region.
We are to select 2 board members, 3 members of the At Large Advisory
Committee (positions representing Asia Pacific, Latin American and
Caribbean and African regions), 1 member of the Council of the
Country-Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), 2 members of the
Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO).
Please read the material below and to consider who might be
appropriate and strong candidates for such submissions, and to make
recommendations of suitable individuals. Interested individuals may
also submit a statement of interest directly. Please contact me
directly if you would like to discuss any of the positions, etc.
And please feel free to redistribute this message to any and all
relevant individuals and groups.

Supporting Organization (ccNSO)
Those individuals selected by the Nominating Committee will have a
unique opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around
the globe, address intriguing technical coordination problems and
related policy development challenges with diverse functional,
cultural, and geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and
experience from working across these boundaries of knowledge,
responsibility and perspective.
Additionally, those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a
valuable public service contribution. Placing the broad public
interest ahead of any particular interests, they will help ensure the
stability and security of the Internet for critically important
societal functions.
These voluntary positions are not remunerated, although direct
expenses incurred in the course of duty may be reimbursed. These
positions may involve significant international travel, including
personal presence at periodic ICANN meetings, as well as regular
telephone and Internet communications.
Candidates should be women and men with a high level of
qualifications and experience with an international outlook including
some familiarity with the Internet. They should be prepared to
contribute to the collective decision-making process among ICANN's
constituencies, supporting organizations and advisory bodies.
