Marina del Rey, California, USA (28 January 2003) - The Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is convening a
Nominating Committee to select a majority of the voting members of
ICANN's new Board of Directors, as well as individuals to serve in
other key positions. ICANN is a private-sector, non-profit corporation
with technical management responsibilities for the Internet's domain
name and address system.

ICANN's Interim At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), which is
responsible for considering and providing advice on the activities of
ICANN as they relate to the interests of individual Internet users
(the "At-Large" community), will select 5 delegates to the Nominating
Committee.

The ALAC is calling for volunteers to serve as its delegates to the
Nominating Committee. Individuals interested in being considered for
appointment by the ALAC to the Nominating Committee are asked to
contact the ALAC via e-mail to <alac-comments@icann.org> before 7
February 2003 (please include in the e-mail your name, country,
profession, and e-mail address; write "Nominating Committee" in the
subject line; and attach a resume or biography). Suggestions of
individuals who may be interested in serving are also strongly
encouraged.

Nominating Committee delegates will select a group of accomplished
Board members who display diversity in geography, culture, skills,
experience, and perspective, and who understand ICANN's mission and
are committed to its success. The Board is responsible for ensuring
that ICANN carries out its mission of coordinating, and ensuring the
stability and security of, the global Internet's systems of unique
identifiers (see <http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm> for
additional information).

The ALAC seeks Nominating Committee delegates who are:

  1. 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;

  2. Persons with wide contacts, broad experience in the Internet
  community, and a commitment to the success of ICANN;

  3. Persons whom the selecting body is confident will consult widely
  and accept input in carrying out their responsibilities;

  4. Persons who are neutral and objective, without any fixed personal
  commitments to particular individuals, organizations, or commercial
  objectives in carrying out their Nominating Committee
  responsibilities;

  5. Persons with an understanding of ICANN's mission and the
  potential impact of ICANN's activities on the broader Internet
  community who are willing to serve as volunteers, without
  compensation other than the reimbursement of certain expenses; and

  6. Persons who are able to work and communicate in written and
  spoken English.

Additionally, delegates the ALAC selects will be geographically
diverse, reflecting the global interests of the At-Large community.
One individual will be selected from each of ICANN's five geographic
regions. Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, and
North America.

The Nominating Committee's members will serve one-year terms (with
terms ending at the ICANN annual meeting, usually in October or
November). The Committee's immediate task is to select 8 members of
the ICANN Board, 5 members of the ALAC, and 3 members of the GNSO
Council, which is responsible for developing and recommending to the
ICANN Board policies relating to generic top-level domains. The
Committee is expected to conduct its business online, or through
teleconferences, and require a reasonably manageable time commitment.
Additional information on the Nominating Committee can be found at
<http://www.icann.org/general/bylaws.htm#VII>. The Committee will be
chaired by Linda Wilson, ICANN Board member and former president of
Radcliffe College.

Information on the ALAC and its members is available at

Russian.
