Further Information
-------------------

ICANN’s Nominating Committee (NomCom) is responsible for the selection 
of eight ICANN Board Members, two directors of the Public Technical 
Identifiers (PTI) and for other selections as are set forth in the 
Bylaws (see Article 8, Section 8.1).

The NomCom is also charged with appointing some members of the ALAC, 
ccNSO Council and the GNSO Council. The NomCom complements the other 
means for filling a portion of key ICANN leadership positions achieved 
within the SOs and ACs.

As per the ICANN Bylaws (Article 8, Section 8.2), the ASO AC is pleased 
to invite nominations for candidates from the “Internet Numbers 
Community” to run for an open seat on the ICANN NomCom 2020 as delegate 
of the ASO.

The term for the selected delegate will be one year starting in ICANN 66 
in Montreal, Canada, in November 2019 (see Article 8, Section 8.3 for 
term limits).

Time Commitment for the ASO NomCom Representative
------------------------------------------------
The person should be able to join monthly teleconferences (typically 
15:00 or 16:00 UTC). Note that the committee’s workload will increase 
significantly during Apr/May/June 2020 when the candidate assessment 
process will be at its busiest. Conference calls are held more 
frequently (typically weekly and the duration of the calls may last up 
to 3 hours) during this time.

The person should be able to join (in person), three ICANN (66, 67 and 
68) meetings and an intersessional meeting (location decided by NomCom 
2020). Travel support for all meetings is provided by ICANN.

The person must be able to attend the NomCom selection meeting in late 
June 2020 during ICANN 68.

The ICANN NomCom has a set of guidelines and procedural documents for 
reference that provide additional information about the work of the NomCom.
