The Board Governance Committee (BGC) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), has appointed the Amir Quayyum as the 2025 Nominating Chair and Thomas Barrett as chair-elect, reports ITREALMS.
They also considered the NomCom members’ evaluation of the 2024 NomCom leadership, conducted interviews of a short listed group of candidates, and made a recommendation, which the Board considered and discussed.
“Resolved (2024.09.26.03), the Board hereby appoints Amir Qayyum as the 2025 Nominating Committee Chair and Thomas Barrett as the 2025 Nominating Committee Chair-Elect.
“Resolved (2024.09.26.04), specific items within this resolution shall remain confidential pursuant to Article 3, section 3.5(b) of the ICANN Bylaws until the Interim President and CEO, or her designee(s), determines that the confidential information may be released.”
ITREALMS recalls that ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom) is an independent committee that selects candidates for leadership positions within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN): ICANN Board of Directors, Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) Board, At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) Council, and Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council.
The NomCom's goal is to identify and select candidates who will contribute to the stable and secure operation of the internet's identifier systems. NomCom members are expected to act on behalf of the global internet community, and are not compensated financially for their work. They are, however, reimbursed for expenses related to their duties.
The NomCom operates independently from the ICANN Board, Supporting Organizations, and Advisory Committees.
