The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN) Nominating
Committee (NomCom) was recently notified that the At-Large Advisory
Committee (ALAC) North America region representative, appointed by ICANN's
2014 NomCom has resigned. The NomCom invites interested individuals from
the North America region to apply to become an ALAC representative for the
remainder of the current term, starting at the conclusion of the ICANN
Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October 2015 in Dublin, and ending at the
ICANN AGM in 2016.

The ALAC is the ICANN body responsible for representing the voice of the
end user in policy and operational discussions. For more information on the
work of the ALAC see: http://www.atlarge.icann.org/.

North American citizens who submitted applications in 2014, will be invited
to update their applications and have them considered by the NomCom.

This position requires regular participation in teleconferences and may
involve international travel, including travel to ICANN's three annual
Public Meetings.

Fluency in English is a requirement for this position.

More information about criteria and time commitment for this position is
available on the 2015 NomCom webpage at: https://www.icann.org/nomcom2015

All applications are confidential and should be received by *12 August*
2015 (23:59 UTC) for full consideration. The selection will be announced in

following ICANN's AGM in Dublin, Ireland in October 2015.

More information regarding the Nominating Committee can be found at:
http://nomcom.icann.org/.

Background:

The NomCom is an independent committee tasked with selecting eight members
of the Board of Directors and other key positions within ICANN's structure.

It is designed to function independently from the ICANN Board, Supporting
Organizations, and Advisory Committees. NomCom members act only on behalf
of the interests of the global Internet community and within the scope of
the ICANN mission and responsibilities assigned to it by the ICANN Bylaws.

NomCom members contribute understanding of the broad interests of the
Internet community as a whole, and knowledge and experience of specific
Internet constituencies who have appointed them.

The challenge for the NomCom is to integrate these perspectives and derive
consensus in its selections. Although appointed by Supporting Organizations
and other ICANN bodies, individual NomCom members are not accountable to
their appointing bodies.

NomCom members are accountable for adherence to the ICANN Bylaws and for
compliance with the rules and procedures established by the NomCom.
