The Internet Is Your Business: ICANN Seeks Volunteers
ICANN’s Nominating Committee seeks applications for six leadership positions
28 January 2008
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Nominating Committee for the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is looking for volunteers to
help it with the global task of coordinating the Internet’s unique
identifiers.
"The Internet is the most powerful communications tool in human history
— and the incredible story is how much of this has been accomplished by
dedicated volunteers," said Hagen Hultzsch, Chair of the Nominating
Committee (NomCom). "ICANN’s work coordinating the Internet’s addressing
system is at the foundation of the Internet and its future — and we are
always looking for people who want to make a contribution."
"The issues are fascinating — for example how do you allow the potential
seven billion Internet users to express themselves in their own language
in a domain name? How do you expand the domain names available at the
top level?" Hultzsch added. "These are just two issues ICANN grapples with."
The Nominating Committee today launched an updated and easier to use
website [http://nomcom.icann.org/] outlining how people can apply for
positions currently open on ICANN’s Board and its Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees. Those positions are:
* 2 Board Directors
* 1 GNSO Council member
* 1 ccNSO Council member
* 2 ALAC Committee members (Europe and North America)
"The people who volunteer in the ICANN community have helped build the
Internet and its connections over the years," Hultzsch added. "If
individuals are interested in the future of the Internet and are excited
by the prospect of working with the people who helped build the network,
then the NomCom invites them to provide a Statement of Interest based on
the form available at the web pages."
The Nominating Committee is designed to function independently from the
Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees.
Information on applying is available at http://nomcom.icann.org/.
