About the ICANN NomCom
The ICANN NomCom is responsible for the selection of all ICANN
Directors except the President and those selected by ICANN's
Supporting Organizations, and for such other selections as are set
forth in the Bylaws. [see the
Bylaws Article VII, Section 1]
The NomCom is charged with populating a portion of the ICANN Board
as noted above, as well as the Council of the GNSO, the Interim
ALAC, and the Council of the ccNSO. The NomCom complements the other
means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions
achieved within the Supporting Organizations.
The Nominating Committee is designed to function independently from
the Board, the Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees.
Nominating Committee members act only on behalf of the interests of
the global Internet community and within the scope of the ICANN
mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws.
Members contribute to the Nominating Committee both their
understanding of the broad interests of the Internet as a whole and
their knowledge and experience of the concerns and interests of the
Internet constituencies which have appointed them. The challenge for
the Nominating Committee is to integrate these perspectives and
derive consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting
Organizations and other ICANN entities, individual Nominating
Committee members are not accountable to their appointing
constituencies. Members are, of course, accountable for adherence to
the Bylaws and for compliance with the rules and procedures
established by the Nominating Committee.
