APRALO | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Amrita Choudhury | Lianna Galstyan |
| I graciously accept the nomination to NomCom from APRALO for a second term. While the first year is more of a learning experience, I have attempted to network and reach out to community members in APAC and encourage eligible candidates to apply for the various positions, actively participate in the NomCom calls and discussions, keep the community updated as much as possible, while maintaining confidentiality of the process on the developments related to NomCom2020. If nominated by ALAC for a second term, based on the experience of first term, I would attempt to lead in committee roles and functions, continue outreach initiative to encourage eligible candidates from the region to apply and fullfill the responsibility of a NomCom member to work with the other committee members to select appropriate candidates for the leadership positions. | 2020 AGM to 2021 AGM | ||

The ICANN Bylaws require that the ALAC, in consultation with the RALOs, appoints five voting members of the NomCom, one per ICANN region. Voting members of the NomCom are appointed for a one year term, starting at the close of the 2019 Annual General Meeting and ending at the 2020 Annual General Meeting, and may be re-appointed for a further term of one year subject to the requirement under the ICANN Bylaws.
- XI-2.4.e The ALAC shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI to the Nominating Committee.
VII-3.1 Each voting delegate shall serve a one-year term. A delegate may serve at most two successive one-year terms, after which at least two years must elapse before the individual is eligible to serve another term.
Voting delegate to the NomCom may not serve more than two consecutive terms.
IMPORTANT: Criteria for NomCom Delegates
The NomCom is responsible for selecting members of the ICANN Board, ALAC, ccNSO and GNSO. This is a very important function and all candidates should meet important criteria.
- Familiarity with the ICANN groups to which the NomCom appoints (Board, ALAC, GNSO, ccNSO).
- Ability to judge people (such as when interviewing and hiring).
- Comfortable and preferably fluent with English (listening, reading, speaking).
- Good on-line skills such as on Google & Social media
- Time Commitment - Must be willing to devote substantial time under tight deadlines (March-June). Will involve travel to up to 4 meetings.
- Ability work in a group environment, standing up for what you believe in a discussion with other "strong" people, but at the same time, must be a good listener and be willing to change your mind if someone else has a good argument. Diplomacy is important.
RALOs may recommend one or more candidates to the ALAC. The appointment if NomCom delegates is carried out by the ALAC. Therefore, RALO recommendations are not binding.
Selection Schedule for 2020 ALAC Selectees from the NomCom - TBD by the NomCom (see: 2020 NomCom webpage)

ALAC Member (RALO) | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Holly Raiche | Ali AlMeshal |
| I gratefully accept this nomination and would look forward to serve APRALO as their ALAC member. My primary area of interest is policy and I have been deeply involved in the development of ALAC policy for some time. I have given presentations to several ICANN meetings on issues surrounding privacy and WHOIS, developed and presented a five part workshop on policy development at another ICANN meeting, presented the ALAC perspective on WHOIS at a joint NCUC/ALAC meeting, and was the initial Chair of the most recent Review of ALAC, developed. I presented a five session workshop on policy development, focussing on Competition, Consumer Trust, Consumer Choice at an ICANN meeting, organised a round table on Policy at another ICANN meeting and, most recently, developed and presented a policy panel discussion on DoH/DoT at the most recent (virtual) ICANN meeting. I have 'held the pen' developing ALAC policy positions on a number of issues, and been a member of GNSO working groups of issues including ITRP, privacy/proxy services and WHOIS. I have developed and delivered presentations on policy issues in several APAC meetings, and report to the monthly APRALO meetings on policy issues being considered by ALAC. I also attended and presented at two regional IGF meetings, at the Cook Islands and Armenia. I regularly attend and contribute to discussions in the weekly ALAC Consolidated Policy Working Group and would deeply appreciate the opportunity to continue to bring the APAC perspectives to policy discussions in ICANN. | 2020 AGM to 2022 AGM | |

APRALO Vice-Chair | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Ali AlMeshal | Emani Fakaotimanava-Lui |
| I thankfully accept this nomination for Vice-Chair, and I hope my dedication and commitment to supporting the region are an indication of my credibility and ability in helping APRALO going forward. In the past years, we have been very much focused on engagement and outreach, as well as policy awareness and contributions. A number of great achievements I have been involved in include the special mentorship student program in Kobe, ATLAS III coaching, and At-Large Ambassador in Montreal. Being a Co-chair on the Outreach and Engagement Sub-committee involves working alongside my leadership colleagues to prepare strategic planning and activities as my responsibility for across the APRALO region. I have given regular reports on the work of the O&E committee at our monthly APRALO meetings. Virtual activities have become very important, especially at this time when my participation in other activities, like APRICOT and Middle East DNS forum had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. During the year I was able to participate in the SmartSec conference and exhibition. Looking forward to fruitful contributions to serve the end-user community together with APRALO / ALS members. | 2020 AGM to 2022 AGM | |

ALAC Member(RALO) | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Marita Moll | Glenn McKnight |
| I believe that the voice of At Large, on behalf of Internet end users, is a crucial part of ICANN's structure and it is a role that needs to be strengthened. This is why, during my first term as NARALO rep. to ALAC, I have led discussions and written At Large responses to ICANN's 5-year strategic plan, especially the evolution of the multistakeholder system. But it is also crucial to ensure that the voice of end users flows up through the RALOs and into At Large responses to policy and administrative issues. In order for this to happen, information about ICANN decisions and processes must also flow down to end users in ways that are accessible. I think this will be an important part of our work over the next two years. I hope to have your support to continue in the role as your representative for another term. | 2020 AGM - 2022 AGM | |

NARALO Chair | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Eduardo Diaz | Glenn McKnight |
| I graciously accept this nomination for Chair, and I hope my strength and commitment to the region are a testament to my faithfulness and ability in helping move NARALO forward. In the past two years we have been focused in engagement, education and policy awareness and contributions. We have had many achievements, among which are the first North American School of Internet Governance (NASIG 2018) held in in Puerto Rico, followed by another one in Quebec in 2019. We have also able to use most of our time during our monthly meeting on educating our membership in ICANN current issues. In the past two years we had 24 monthly meetings, 7 snippet webinars, celebrated NARALO’s 10th anniversary and increased our membership by 15% (at a rate of 7% a year). Looking forward, I propose that we focus in four major areas: [1] Policy: Establish a working framework to increase regional participation in policy development through policy discussions in NARALO and participation in the Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPWG) and others spaces as necessary , [2] Outreach & Engagement: Advance our O&E strategic plans and support the 2021 and 2022 North American Schools of Internet Governance (NASIG 2021 &NASIG 2022), [3] Education: Continue to provide snippet webinars to maintain the region informed of issues and policies related that affect the stability and security of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and coordinate NASIG 2021 & 2022 [4]Membership: Coordinate the 2021 NARALO General Assembly. Maintain and/or increase our membership roll by a rate of 7% increase. I look ahead to the contributions to the end-user community and beyond that together will make through NARALO. | 2020 AGM - 2022 AGM | |
ALAC Delegate to the NomCom | (Eligible for re-appointment) | Glenn McKnight | Self-nominated |
| Currently a NOMCOM member, the NOMCOM has become a much more complicated process that needs a two year cycle to be fully productive. The first year is more of a learning experience and the second year involves more leadership taking on specific committee roles and functions. I think it's critical that anyone seeking this position it should be deemed a two year commitment. I am willing to stand for an additional year. | 2020 AGM - 2021 AGM |
