ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom)

From the ICANN's Nominating Committee website :

"The Nominating Committee (NomCom) is an independent committee tasked with selecting a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and other key positions within ICANN's structure."

The At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) appoints, in consultation with LACRALO, a representative from LACRALO to serve on the Nominating Committee (NomCom). Such representatives of the NomCom are appointed for a one year term, and may be re-appointed for a further term of one year subject to the requirement under the ICANN By Laws that a such a representative may only serve a maximum of two consecutive years.

While LACRALO does not formally elect a representative to the NomCom, LACRALO has to submit to ALAC a list of all accepted regional nominations for the NomCom position and may also make a recommendation of a preferred candidate to the ALAC.

Obligations and Requirements for NomCom members
