Deadline for Submissions

2
August 2004
In response to community feedback, ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom)
announced today it has extended its deadline for
Statements of Interest to 25 August 2004 (12:00 GMT).
Input received as a result of the
committee's outreach activities indicates that additional time would be
beneficial to those individuals interested in participating in the NomCom process, as well as allow the committee to take full
advantage of the interest generated at the ICANN meetings in Kuala Lumpur.
The extension will also provide the NomCom with the opportunity to publicize its search in
additional channels worldwide, and devote further resources to its ongoing
recruitment work.
The 2004 Nominating Committee began its work in May of this year and is
actively seeking qualified candidates for the following key positions within ICANN:
The ICANN Board of Directors
The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council
The Interim At-Large Advisory Committee
(ALAC)
The Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO)
Council
Those individuals selected by the
Nominating Committee will have a unique opportunity to work with accomplished
colleagues from around the globe, address intriguing technical coordination
problems and related policy development challenges with diverse functional,
cultural, and geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and experience from
working across these boundaries of knowledge, responsibility and perspective.
Selection criteria, eligibility factors,
roles of each position, application procedure, and contacts are posted at <http://www.icann.org/committees/nom-comm/formalcall-30jun04.htm>
Statements of Interest may be sent to
nomcom-submissions@xxxxxxxxxx Submissions will be handled confidentially and
