Marina del Rey, CA - April 18, 2006 - ICANN's Nominating Committee 
invites Statements of Interest from the Internet community as it seeks 
qualified candidates to assist in ICANN's technical and policy 
coordination role. Interested individuals are invited to submit a 
Statement of Interest to this year's Committee for the following positions:

Three members of the ICANN Board of Directors

One member of the Council of the Generic Names Supporting Organization 
(GNSO)

One member of the Council of the Country-Code Names Supporting 
Organization (ccNSO)
Two members of the At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)

ICANN's Nominating Committee (NomCom) is an independent committee tasked 
with selecting a majority of the members of ICANN's Board of Directors 
and other positions within ICANN's Supporting Organisations. ICANN is an 
internationally organised, public benefit, non-profit corporation 
dedicated to: preserving the operational security and stability of the 
Internet; promoting competition; achieving broad representation of 
global Internet communities; and supporting the development of policies 
appropriate to its mission through bottom-up, consensus-based processes.

Individuals selected by the Nominating Committee will have a unique 
opportunity to work with accomplished colleagues from around the globe, 
address the Internet's intriguing technical coordination problems and 
policy development challenges with diverse functional, cultural, and 
geographic dimensions, and gain valuable insights and experience from 
working across boundaries of knowledge, responsibility and perspective.

Those selected will gain the satisfaction of making a valuable public 
service contribution towards the continued function and evolution of an 
essential global resource. Considering the broad public interest, 
nominees will work to achieve the goals towards which ICANN is dedicated 
in order to facilitate the Internet's critically important societal 
functions.

Current Board members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee 
include: Vint Cerf (Chairman), Susan Crawford, Hagen Hultzsch, Joichi 
Ito, Veni Markovski, Hualin Qian, Njeri Rionge, and Vanda Scartezini 
(see, http://www.icann.org/general/board.html).
