Call for Expressions of Interest for 2012-2013 NomCom Chair
20 August 2012
ICANN is immediately seeking expressions of interest for the 2012-2013
Nominating Committee (NomCom) Chair.
In accordance with ICANN's Bylaws, "[i]t is anticipated that upon the
conclusion of the term of the Chair-Elect, the Chair-Elect will be appointed by
the Board to the position of Chair." See Article VII, section 3.4.
But, the current NomCom Chair-Elect chose after the Prague meeting to not stand
for NomCom Chair. That is why ICANN is now calling for those interested in
serving as Chair of the 2012-2013 Nominating Committee to submit a statement of
interest. All individuals who have expressed interest in serving as the
Chair-Elect will be directly notified about being considered for Chair.
Accordingly, if you have already submitted your statement of interest for
Chair-Elect, you need not do so again for the Chair position.
For more information about the NomCom see: http://nomcom.icann.org/
