<p>I am writing to share a final update as the NCUC-appointed delegate to the 2025 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom).</p>
<p>The NomCom has successfully concluded its final selection meeting, completing the process of evaluating and interviewing a diverse and highly qualified pool of candidates. Our selections reflect a commitment to global representation and the public interest, aligning with ICANN's mission. These final selections will be announced later in the summer by ICANN once due dilligence has been completed.</p>
<p>Serving on the NomCom this year has been an honor. I am proud of the committee's collaborative efforts and the progress made in enhancing transparency and accountability, particularly through the work of the Recommendations Subcommittee, which I chaired and whose work will continue over the summer refining the reccomendations and producing a final report to be given to the 2026 NomCom in Oman.</p>
<p>As my term concludes, I extend my sincere gratitude to the NCUC for entrusting me with this role. Due to the transition provisions in the ICANN Bylaws, I am not eligible for reappointment. Therefore, the NCUC will need to appoint a new delegate for the upcoming term.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support throughout this journey.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>James Gannon<br>
NCUC Delegate to the 2025 ICANN Nominating Committee</p></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>--</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>James Gannon<br></b></p>
