Dear community leaders,

On 26 April, ICANN Board Chair Tripti Sinha sent a letter to you 
requesting feedback from your respective community groups on the 
question of rebalancing the Nominating Committee (NomCom) by *30 June 
2023*. As noted in the letter, the ICANN Board wishes to engage with the 
community to understand the community’s views on this topic. The Board 
is specifically seeking input on the following questions:

1. What does it mean to have a balanced NomCom at a point in time? For 
example, what criteria would you apply to measure or assess whether the 
NomCom is balanced? And further, how can one test whether or not the 
NomCom is balanced?

2. Do you support the view that the current composition of the NomCom 
needs to be rebalanced? Please explain why or why not.

3. How frequently does the balance need to be measured or assessed?

4. How do you suggest that the NomCom’s composition be rebalanced?

5. Who should conduct this work, and how should it be conducted?

6. How would your community group prioritize consideration of this issue 
within your planning efforts?

The letter includes additional background on the work to date on this 
topic, including by the NomCom Review Implementation Working Group that 
was set up to implement the outcomes of the Second NomCom Review (see 
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence 
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence> for each of the 
letters sent to all 21 SOAC leaders). In addition, on 25 May 2023, the 
Chair of the Board’s Organizational Effectiveness Committee, Katrina 
Sataki, and members of ICANN org’s Reviews Support & Accountability team 
gave a presentation to the GNSO Council that covered the present 
structure of NomCom, a brief history of the rebalancing matter and 
forthcoming actions. As such, you may find the presentation 
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/presentation/presentation-gnso-council-nomcom-rebalancing-revised-25may23-en.pdf> and 
the recording 
<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/7pSQ37mSB5wGz8-msQS2PDpzhQ6VdJQISm2SYmWKwfFMWFM_Z6FdMsFiipNyIV-E.J55mm5SBjoZJS9d9?startTime=1684990882000> (from 
00:14:10 - 00:31:38) helpful in discussing any planned feedback with 
your members.

Please do not hesitate to let me or your staff support teams know if you 
require any additional information before the requested feedback date of 
30 June. Thank you!

Cheers

Mary
