2004 ICANN Nominating Committee
Committee's Charge
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. [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 Bylaws also state that the Nominating Committee shall adopt such operating
procedures as it deems necessary, which shall be published on the Website.
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.
