> ICANN is a non-profit organization responsible for coordinating the

> of domain names and numeric addresses that are used to reach all
> computers on the Internet. ICANN's mission is to ensure the stable and
> secure operation of these unique identifier systems, which are vital to
> the Internet's operation. In addition, ICANN coordinates policy
> development related to these technical functions. For more information,
> see ICANN's website. <http://www.icann.org/>

>
> In response to its 5 April 2003 Formal Call, the Nominating Committee
> received 115 recommendations of potential candidates from all over the
> world. Out of 110 individuals who subsequently submitted a Statement of
> Interest, NomCom selected 17 outstanding individuals for staggered terms
> in the leadership roles as ICANN implements its organizational
> restructuring. The terms range from five to forty-one months in length.
> Nine individuals were selected to serve on the Board of Directors. Five
> individuals were selected for the Interim At-Large Advisory Committee
> (which coordinates participation by individual Internet users in ICANN's
> activities), and three individuals were selected for the Council of the
> Generic Names Supporting Organization (which develops policy concerning
> domain names in generic top-level domains such as .com, .net, .org,
> .info, and .biz).
>
> The Nominating Committee was asked to find high-caliber, experienced,
> open-minded women and men with integrity, sound judgment, and
> objectivity. "We used a holistic approach, focusing on the careful
> selection of slates of Candidates with complementary skills and
> perspectives who fulfilled the ICANN criteria and eligibility
> requirements," Wilson explained, "and we kept all the Candidates in
> consideration until the final slates were chosen."
>
> Through these strategies the Nominating Committee pursued its dual
> charge: to balance the other ICANN leadership selection processes which
> are based on Supporting Organizations and Constituencies and to help
> ensure that ICANN can benefit from the leadership of the women and men
> of the highest integrity and capability who place the public interest
> ahead of any particular interests. These carefully selected slates will
> help ICANN ensure functional, cultural, and geographic diversity in its
> policy development and decision-making as the Internet itself evolves.
>
> The Nominating Committee:
>
> An independent Nominating Committee is a key element of the newly
> reformed ICANN structure. It is composed of a diverse set of individuals
> chosen by the groups and entities that make up ICANN and by various
> Internet Standards-Development Organizations. The Nominating Committee
> is charged to act in the interests of the global Internet community
> rather than in accord with specific interests. It is presently
> responsible for selecting 8 of fifteen Board Directors, 5 of fifteen
> Interim ALAC Members, and 3 of fifteen GNSO Council Members.
>
> For more information about the Nominating Committee, its Members, Formal
