They carry out a Due Diligence before making the slate for elections so in a way some already do that. But i agree the nomcom has a responsibility to do so and also try to ensure that the people also going for the board to be able to show as well when they have conflicts of interest clear as well.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">+1</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kris<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 2, 2017, at 10:01, Ayden Férdeline <<a href="mailto:icann@FERDELINE.COM" class="">icann@FERDELINE.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">See, in particular, the post below on Board member integrity screening.<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am pleased to hear that, "the four current and incoming voting Board members who have not gone through the due diligence screening process that the Nominating Committee (NomCom) utilizes have volunteered to do so immediately."<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Ayden <br class=""></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div class="">-------- Original Message --------<br class=""></div><div class="">Subject: Daily Digest of <a href="http://ICANN.org" class="">ICANN.org</a><br class=""></div><div class="">Local Time: 2 November 2017 3:30 AM<br class=""></div><div class="">UTC Time: 1 November 2017 23:30<br class=""></div><div class="">From: <a href="mailto:no-reply@icann.org" class="">no-reply@icann.org</a><br class=""></div><div class="">To: Ayden Férdeline <<a href="mailto:ayden@ferdeline.com" class="">ayden@ferdeline.com</a>><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="u-emailContainer"><div class="head-wrapper"><table class="head-wrap"><tbody class=""><tr class=""><td width="50px" class=""><img src="http://icann.org/assets/icann_button.png" alt="ICANN" class=""><br class=""></td><td align="left" class=""><h1 class="">Daily Digest of <a href="http://ICANN.org" class="">ICANN.org</a><br class=""></h1></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="u-centeredContainer"><table class="body-wrap"><tbody class=""><tr class=""><td class=""><div class="DigestList"><h3 class="">From the ICANN Blog<br class=""></h3><div class=""><hr class=""><br class=""></div><div class="DigestEntry"><h4 class=""><a href="http://icann.org/news/blog/board-member-integrity-screening" class="">Board Member Integrity Screening</a><br class=""></h4><p class="DigestEntry-summary"><br class=""></p><div class="">I have no doubt that all of ICANN agrees that the ICANN community and the organization should expect Board members to hold themselves to the highest standards of integrity, and to uphold the reputation and credibility of the Board as a whole.
