3 ALAC Councillor seats (representing Africa, Asia/Australia/Pacific
Islands, and Latin America/Caribbean regions); 2 GNSO Council seats and 2
ccNSO Council seats.

 

At ICANN Durban 47, the work was arduous, but collegial, and selections were
made in a congenial and collaborative manner that brought about a unanimous
decision for all of the 2013 Nom Com ICANN Board appointees.

 

The appointees are now undergoing the due diligence process by the ICANN
legal and will be announced on or about late September 2013.  All of those
that were not selected have since received letters from the Nom Com Chair,
Yrjo Lansipuro, thanking them for submitting themselves to the process.

responsibilities for 2014 selections.
