Dear LACRALO members,

I am pleased to inform you about my participation in the Nominating Committee (NomCom) Onboarding Workshop during ICANN81, held in Istanbul from 9 to 14 November 2024. As an ALAC delegate representing LACRALO, I had the opportunity to get involved in key activities that will strengthen our contribution to ICANN processes.

Summary of the NomCom Onboarding Workshop (November 8, 9, and 10, 2024)

Day 1: Fundamentals and Procedures

The first day focused on understanding the responsibilities and procedures of the NomCom. The importance of confidentiality and respect for the process was emphasized, highlighting the need to avoid “verbal slips” and maintain a professional code of conduct that preserves the integrity of the committee.

Day 2: Subcommittee Formation and Unconscious Bias Training

Members select the subcommittees they will serve on, including: Interview Questions, Scoping, Assessment, Interviews, and Recommendations. Additionally, we receive unconscious bias training from an outside expert to be aware of the biases inherent in the selection process and ensure more objective decisions.

Day 3: Inclusive Leadership and Keynote Presentations

The final day was dedicated to inclusive leadership training, exploring different leadership styles applicable to our subcommittees. Although the session was largely theoretical, it highlighted the importance of motivating members and fostering positive dynamics. We concluded with presentations from PTI Board Directors, Jonathan Zuck, ALAC Chair, and Claire Craig, ALAC Member, who shared valuable insights for our work.

Next Steps

We will continue our work virtually in the coming weeks. The next in-person meeting of the NomCom is scheduled for ICANN82.

I appreciate the opportunity to represent LACRALO in this important committee and look forward to contributing to strengthening our participation in ICANN processes.

Finally, I would like to thank Glenn McKnight (from NARALO, who is also in NOMCOM) for providing me with his meeting notes, which, along with my own, helped in part to prepare this brief report. I regret that I cannot go into more in-depth topics, given the special nature of NOMCOM's work.

Sincerely, Humberto Carrasco Blanc
