BCEC Announces the Final Slate of ICANN Board Director Candidates Selected by the At-Large Community
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-01-30-en
30 January 2017
The optional Regional At-Large Organization (RALO) petition process[atlarge.icann.org] in the ICANN Board Director selection did not result in a successful petition to add names to the Board Candidate Evaluation Committee (BCEC) Slate of Candidates and this stage of the process has now concluded.
As such, the Final Slate of Candidates, who were selected by the BCEC[atlarge.icann.org] and will go forward to the next stage of the selection process organized by the Board Member Selection Process Committee (BMSPC), are (listed in alphabetical order of the last name):
- Alan Greenberg (Canada)
- Leon Felipe Sanchez Ambia (Mexico)
Expressions of Interest (EoIs) of the Final Slate of Candidates
You may view the EoIs (with personal and private information removed) of the Final Slate of Candidates HERE[community.icann.org].
Next Steps
In the coming weeks, before the start of the final election, the BMSPC will organize activities and mechanisms that facilitate interactions between the At-Large Community Members and the Final Slate of Candidates. The methods of interaction will incorporate input from ALAC Members, RALO members, and the Final Slate of Candidates themselves. The BMSPC will announce the planned interactions in due course.
In accordance with the selection timeline[community.icann.org], the first round of voting in the final election will be initiated on Tuesday, 21 February 2017. Any internal RALO decision making processes, such as confirming the electorates[community.icann.org] and directing RALO Chairs' votes in the final election, should be conducted and completed before 21 February. The selection process is planned to be completed by Friday, 21 April 2017, with the announcement of the successful Candidate on that date.
Background Information
For background information of the ICANN Board Director Selection Process, please visit the At-Large Board Member Selection workspace[community.icann.org].
Any questions regarding the process should also be directed by email to program-admin@atlarge.icann.org. They will be answered as quickly as possible.

You are invited to an interactive webinar on 7 February 2017 at 14:00 UTC, to discuss the preliminary recommendations just published for public comment by the Working Group for the GNSO Policy Development Process on access by International Governmental Organizations’ (IGO) and International Non-Governmental Organizations’ (INGO) access to domain name dispute resolution processes. The public comment period for the Working Group’s Initial Report (https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/igo-ingo-crp-access-initial-19jan17-en.pdf)[gnso.icann.org] closes on 1 March 2017.
During this webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions following a brief presentation of the Working Group’s preliminary recommendations by the Working Group co-chairs. Attendees will learn about the Working Group’s initial proposals for:
- Whether to modify the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) or the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) process to address the specific needs of IGOs and INGOs;
- How an IGO may demonstrate standing to file a complaint under the UDRP or URS in the absence of trademark rights;
- A Policy Guidance document to clarify the scope of application of the UDRP and URS to IGOs; and
- Considerations relating to possible claims of jurisdictional immunity by IGOs in appeals from UDRP and URS determinations.
Details:
Date – 7 February 2017
Time – 1400 UTC for 60 minutes
How to Join:
Please sign up here[docs.google.com] or send an email to gnso-secs@icann.org confirming your participation.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") is seeking a provider to conduct an independent assessment of its Nominating Committee (NomCom[icann.org]).
The Nominating Committee (NomCom) is an independent committee tasked with selecting members of the Board of Directors as well as 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 objective of this RFP is to identify an independent assessor to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the NomCom including (but not limited to) the continued purpose of the NomCom within the ICANN structure; how effectively the NomCom fulfills its purpose and whether any change in structure or operations is needed; and the extent to which the NomCom as a whole is accountable to the wider ICANN community.
The Review is scheduled to take place from 17 April 2017 through 31 May 2018.
For a complete overview of the RFP including the timeline, please see here[icann.org] [PDF, 548 KB].
Indications of interest are to be received by emailing NomComReview-RFP@icann.org. Proposals should be electronically submitted by 23:59 PST on 17 February 2017 using ICANN's sourcing tool, access to which may be requested via the same email address above.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN[icann.org]) and the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA[ca.go.ke]) are pleased to announce their collaboration on a law enforcement agencies capacity building workshop this month from 25th-26th January, 2017. The workshop is hosted by the Communication Authority of Kenya, the GAC Public Safety Working Group (PSWG), with support from ICANN’s Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) , Security, Stability and Resiliency (SSR) and Compliance teams.
The workshop aims to raise awareness and build capacity in the African law enforcement community on how to participate in ICANN and engage effectively in the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC[gacweb.icann.org]) and ICANN policy making. It will also focus on capacity building within the Law Enforcement Agencies and review the Domain Name System (DNS) and its impact on public safety.
A range of topics will be covered:
- Introduction to ICANN’s mission and multistakeholder bottom-up policy development model
- Introduction to the GAC: role, organisation and membership
- Introduction to the Public Safety Working Group (PSWG): mandate and work plan
- Definition of Abuse of the DNS that can be addressed through ICANN’s processes and contracts
- Mitigation of DNS Abuse: the role and obligations of contracted parties
- Mitigation of DNS Abuse: the role and tools of ICANN’s Security Stability and Resiliency Team
- How Law Enforcement agencies should engage with ICANN
The African Law Enforcement Capacity Building Workshop will provide an opportunity to share experiences with around 15 African Heads of Cybercrime units, members of the Public Safety working group as well as other representatives from governments and industry.

About ICANN:
ICANN’s mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address into your computer or other device – a name or a number. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with participants from all over the world.
