- IMPORTANT: See: 2024 April - NomCom Delegate Job Description.docx
- IMPORTANT: RALOs may recommend one or more candidates to the ALAC. The appointment of NomCom delegates is carried out by the ALAC. Therefore, RALO recommendations are not binding.
Specific criteria and requirements regarding the NomCom composition and NomCom delegates are outlined in the ICANN Bylaws in Article 8.
Section 8.3. TERMS
(a) The term for each voting delegate shall be a two-year term. No individual may serve as a delegate for more than two terms. In addition, no individual may serve in consecutive terms, regardless of the entity selecting them to the Nominating Committee. An individual will only be eligible to serve a second term as a delegate on the Nominating committee if a minimum of two years has elapsed between the end of their first term and the beginning of the term for which they are being selected.
(b) The regular term of each voting delegate shall begin at the conclusion of an ICANN annual meeting and shall end at the conclusion of the ICANN annual meeting in two years, subject to the Transition Article Section 27.5.
Section 8.4. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE DELEGATES

(a) Accomplished persons of integrity, objectivity, and intelligence, with reputations for sound judgment and open minds, and with experience and competence with collegial large group decision-making;
(b) Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN;
(c) Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities;

(f) Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and spoken English.
Section 8.5. DIVERSITY
In carrying out its responsibilities to nominate Directors to fill Seats 1 through 8 (and selections to any other ICANN bodies as the Nominating Committee is responsible for under these Bylaws), the Nominating Committee shall take into account the continuing membership of the Board (and such other bodies), and seek to ensure that the persons it nominates to serve as Director and selects shall, to the extent feasible and consistent with the other criteria required to be applied by Section 8.4, be guided by Section 1.2(b)(ii).
Section 8.8. INELIGIBILITY FOR SELECTION BY NOMINATING COMMITTEE
No person who serves on the Nominating Committee in any capacity shall be eligible for nomination by any means to any position on the Board or any other ICANN body having one or more membership positions that the Nominating Committee is responsible for filling, until the conclusion of an ICANN annual meeting that coincides with, or is after, the conclusion of that person's service on the Nominating Committee.
