Information on the At-Large Board Director Selection Process
Note from the BCEC
5 November 2010
The BCEC would like to note the extraordinarily high standard of all the conforming applicant Statements of Interest (SoIs) received, as evidenced in the extracted SoI details published.
- The Round 1 selection was done by assigning random numbering to the SoI, that had personal identifiers removed. The information associated with and measurable against the key (desirable) criteria already established by the community for the role was worked with by the BCEC, this resulted in a numerically ranked listing of the 22 SoI's listed in the table below.
- A numerical value of scoring that reached over 70% of the total score possible was used to mark/establish a cut-off point above which SOI's were selected to progress from Round 1 to the Round 2 list. Names were associated with the SOIs at this stage.
- All SoI applicants remaining in the consideration pool after the Round 1 were sent permission/ consent forms by the 3rd party company contracted by ICANN to undertake Due Diligence, so that the process of Due Diligence could begin. Due Diligence from private or public record sources has begun by the consultant firm engaged by ICANN to undertake this task on all shortlisted SOI applicants and should be completed well before At-Large's electoral processes are undertaken. * Please note: One Round 2 applicant who was sent the forms twice, did not receive the their Due Diligence Consent form until after publication of the BCEC's final shortlisted slate. The candidate has rectified the situation by signing and returning their consent form, and should this candidate be added to the slate by RALO petition process, there will be no delay from this regrettable situation.
- All References from Round 2, were written to and a standard feedback form was used to elicit responses and reference opinion, and a phone call alternate was offered to all listed referees... (note most reference responses were received within 36 hrs of the request for feedback being received many within the first few hours.
- The BCEC reports to At-Large that of this Round 2 list, two of the applicants hold current positions in the ALAC, three do not. One applicant was female and all references received were positive and confirmed the applicants’ stated capabilities, experience and skill sets as outlined in their SoI's highlighting and or recommending how each applicant was a suitable and satisfactory to be considered as a final slate candidate.
- Round 2 deliberations were conducted from a fresh or zero sum scoring on criteria and additional criteria and discussion points to establish the selection of the best possible applicants for inclusion on the slate occurred. Note: The perspective was of the final slate from the BCEC, not of the larger picture of the ICANN Board of Directors. Gender was not considered in these deliberations by the BCEC which was itself gender balanced.
- BCEC released a final slate of three names; The BCEC wishes to assure the At-Large Community that should a larger slate of more than three (up to seven) candidates have been intended, it would have been more than happy to put forward all of the names remaining after round 2 deliberations and did discuss a list slate list of the top 5, but it had established an aim of releasing only three, as sizes of slate larger increases the likelihood of additional vote rounds being required., resources and time commitments.
Finally, regarding a concern over whether equitable assistance was offered to all applicants in completing their SoIs, the BCEC wish to point out that a special mailing list (BCEC-Request@icann.org) was created and announced in both the SoIs and all public announcements on the call for applicants with the express aim of offering assistance to any applicant who wished. The BCEC, in collaboration with At-Large staff, responded to every request. At-Large staff also followed up with every applicant that submitted an incomplete SoI.

It has been more than 48 hours since the close of the applications. Was there a problem in posting them - I see the note above that they will be published in October? Has the process, perhaps, been changed. If it has been changed, were all of those with incomplete applications notified? And what is the new process? Thanks.
