At the public ICANN meeting in Dublin in October, DENIC CEO Dr. Jörg Schweiger was appointed member of ICANN’s Nominating Committee (NomCom), to act as the representative of the group of country code Top Level Domain managers (country code Names Supporting Organisation, ccNSO). NomCom tasks include filling key positions of ICANN's governing bodies. DENIC’s involvement within NomCom continues its consistent strategy of exerting ongoing influence on the further development of the Internet and on essential strategic decisions within the ICANN ecosystem. NomCom is composed of delegates from the various advisory and other sub-organisations of the ICANN community, including representatives from civil society (ALAC), from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) as well as from the forums of the generic (GNSO) and country code (ccNSO) TLD managers.
