Nominations are submitted by leaders through the official nominations intake process to ensure a fair, auditable, and competency-based selection. When nominating yourself or another candidate, choose the specific position (e.g., Chair, Vice Chair, committee chair, or domain seat), provide a concise statement of fit against the role’s responsibilities, and include evidence of governance readiness—relevant leadership experience, independence/availability, and any subject-matter strengths needed by the Board (risk, finance, audit, technology, policy, standards, or stakeholder representation). Nominations should clearly state the candidate’s proposed contribution for the coming term (priorities, expected outputs, and time commitment), disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest with a proposed mitigation (e.g., disclosure or recusal), and confirm willingness to comply with confidentiality/handling requirements. Once submitted, nominations are screened for completeness and eligibility, assessed against the Board’s skills matrix, and advanced for interview and/or vote in accordance with the Board’s governance timetable and seat allocation rules.
