Dear all,
I think I've not shared yet this letter from Tripti Sinha, chair of the ICANN Board of Directors, requesting feedback on the question of rebalancing the Nominating Committee (NomCom).
As noted in the letter, the ICANN Board wishes to engage with the community to understand the community's views on this topic. The Board is specifically seeking input on the following questions: 1. What does it mean to have a balanced NomCom at a point in time? For example, what criteria would you apply to measure or assess whether the NomCom is balanced? And further, how can one test whether or not the NomCom is balanced? 2. Do you support the view that the current composition of the NomCom needs to be rebalanced? Please explain why or why not. 3. How frequently does the balance need to be measured or assessed? 4. How do you suggest that the NomCom's composition be rebalanced? 5. Who should conduct this work, and how should it be conducted? 6. How would your community group prioritize consideration of this issue within your planning efforts?
The letter includes additional background on the work to date on this topic, including by the NomCom Review Implementation Working Group that was set up to implement the outcomes of the Second NomCom Review (see https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence for each of the letters sent to all 21 SOAC leaders). In addition, on 25 May 2023, the Chair of the Board's Organizational Effectiveness Committee, Katrina Sataki, and members of ICANN org's Reviews Support & Accountability team gave a presentation to the GNSO Council that covered the present structure of NomCom, a brief history of the rebalancing matter and forthcoming actions. As such, you may find the presentationhttps://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/presentation-gnso-council-nomcom-rebalancing-revised-25may23-en.pdf and the recordinghttps://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/7pSQ37mSB5wGz8-msQS2PDpzhQ6VdJQISm2SYmWKwfFMWFM_Z6FdMsFiipNyIV-E.J55mm5SBjoZJS9d9?startTime=1684990882000 (from 00:14:10 - 00:31:38) helpful in discussing any planned feedback with your members.
Best regards
Hervé
