If you like challenges, embrace change, are passionate about Internet governance and a fervent believer in bottom-up consensus-building, then ICANN’s Nominating Committee wants to hear from you.
We are seeking volunteers who are enthusiastic about the Internet to serve on ICANN’s Board of Directors, Generic Names Supporting Organization, At-Large Advisory Committee and the Country Code Names Supporting Organization. Interested candidates can apply by submitting a statement of interest to NomCom online at http://nomcom.icann.org by 1 May 2013.
We’re looking to fill a total of nine positions – four for three-year terms and five for two-year terms, all beginning at ICANN’s Annual Meeting in November 2013. Individuals selected by the NomCom will provide a valuable public service towards the function of the Internet while working with accomplished colleagues from around the globe.
If it’s not the right time or opportunity for you to apply, but you know someone who would be a good fit, you can recommend candidates through an email to nomcom2013@icann.org.
I sat down with ICANN’s Brad White for a short video interview during ICANN 46 in Beijing to talk about what NomCom does and the attributes we are looking for in candidates. More information on how to apply and eligibility requirements can be found at http://nomcom.icann.org.
On behalf of NomCom, we look forward to hearing from you!
