Committee on ICANN Evolution and Reform
2 September 2002

This document outlines a possible timeline for the NomCom process, beginning from the NomCom's creation to its actual selections. This schedule is intended specifically for the selection of Board members; an analogous process would apply to the NomCom's other selections. We invite comments on the practicality and appropriateness of this timeline.

Day 0

• ICANN Board formally creates NomCom.
• ICANN Board announces non-voting Chair.
• ICANN Board sets 30-day deadline for selection of NomCom delegates.

Day 1

• Selecting bodies begin their self-organized process for choosing NomCom delegates.

• Discussion of particular individuals, pursuant to strict confidentiality rules established in advance; NomCom Chair responsible for managing process to ensure confidentiality.

Day 40

• Deadline for ASO, GNSO, and ccNSO to select ICANN Board members (must be done early in NomCom process so that NomCom can take those selections into account in determining functional and geographic diversity needs).
