2 August 2004
 
In response to community feedback, ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom)
announced today it has extended its deadline for Statements of Interest
to 25 August 2004 (12:00 GMT). 
 
Input received as a result of the committee's outreach activities
indicates that additional time would be beneficial to those individuals
interested in participating in the NomCom process, as well as allow the
committee to take full advantage of the interest generated at the ICANN
meetings in Kuala Lumpur.
 
The extension will also provide the NomCom with the opportunity to
publicize its search in additional channels worldwide, and devote
further resources to its ongoing recruitment work. 
 
The 2004 Nominating Committee began its work in May of this year and is
actively seeking qualified candidates for the following key positions
within ICANN:
 
The ICANN Board of Directors 
The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council 
The Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) 
The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council
 
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. 
 
Selection criteria, eligibility factors, roles of each position,
application procedure, and contacts are posted at <
