ICANN CONSIDERS THAT THERE ARE 53 VOLUNTEER LEADERS THAT SERVE THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS SUCH AS CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR. IN ADDITION TO THESE 53 VOLUNTEER LEADERS THAT ARE APPOINTED TO SPECIFIC ROLES AND REPORTED IN FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6, THERE ARE ALSO HUNDREDS (IF NOT MORE) OF VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

THE NOMCOM IS ALSO CHARGED WITH POPULATING A PORTION OF THE AT-LARGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ALAC), THE COUNTRY CODE NAMES SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION (CCNSO) COUNCIL AND THE GENERIC NAMES SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION (GNSO) COUNCIL. THE NOMCOM COMPLEMENTS THE OTHER MEANS FOR FILLING A PORTION OF KEY ICANN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS ACHIEVED WITHIN THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES. ARTICLE 8 OF THE BYLAWS IN EFFECT AS OF JULY 1, 2018 AND NOVEMBER 28, 2019, STATES THAT THE NOMCOM SHALL ADOPT SUCH OPERATING PROCEDURES AS IT DEEMS NECESSARY, WHICH SHALL BE PUBLISHED ON THE ICANN WEBSITE. THE NOMCOM IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE BOARD, THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS, AND ADVISORY COMMITTEES. MEMBERS OF THE NOMCOM CONTRIBUTE BOTH THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE INTERNET AS A WHOLE AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE CONCERNS AND INTERESTS OF THE INTERNET STAKEHOLDERS THAT HAVE APPOINTED THEM. THE CHALLENGE FOR THE NOMCOM IS TO INTEGRATE THESE PERSPECTIVES AND DERIVE CONSENSUS IN ITS SELECTIONS. ALTHOUGH APPOINTED BY SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER ICANN BODIES, INDIVIDUAL NOMCOM MEMBERS ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR APPOINTING GROUPS BUT RATHER TO ICANN AS A WHOLE. NOMCOM MEMBERS ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ADHERENCE TO THE BYLAWS AND FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED BY THE NOMCOM. IN ADDITION, AND ALSO IN ACCORDANCE WITH ICANN'S BYLAWS, EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS NOMINATE TWO VOTING BOARD MEMBERS TO THE ICANN BOARD, EACH FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM: THE ADDRESS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION (ASO), THE CCNSO AND THE GNSO.

IF THE EMPOWERED COMMUNITY INVOKES ONE OF THESE REJECTION RIGHTS, THE ICANN BOARD MUST GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE ITEMS THAT WERE THE EMPOWERED COMMUNITY'S STATE BASIS FOR THE REJECTION. THE EMPOWERED COMMUNITY MAY NOT DICTATE THE VERSION OF THESE DOCUMENTS THAT THE ICANN BOARD MUST APPROVE.
