Ok I for one am getting confused I thought the suggestion was up to 2? I think we need a clear set of options to deliberate on. My suggestion to those options: Suggestion: The NomCom may choose to nominate up to 2 directors to the interim board at the same time as the directors from the SO/ACs are nominated. Reason: I don’t agree that we allow NomCom to appoint a full selection, the interim board should be small and should not be a full complement, that it a matter for the full replacement board, the interim board needs to be knowledgeable, agile and able to respond quickly to change in a time of crisis. -James Gannon From: accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org [mailto:accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Rickert Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 8:51 PM To: Greg Shatan Cc: wp1@icann.org; accountability-cross-community@icann.org Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] [WP1] updated paper: Recall of the ICANN Board I suggest we say NomCom shall not put up less than two. That should give enough flexibility to cover all wishes that were brought forward. Thomas ======== rickert.net<http://rickert.net> PS - Sent from my cell. Please excuse typos and brevity.

The NomCom will not be putting up alternates. I believe where we are now is that the NomCom will (in the event of a spill) put up at least two and possibly up to eight interim directors at that time. I'm not sure but they may have the option of not putting up directors at all, but I think that did not come out on top in the call. NomCom gets more good candidates than they nominate, so there is a pool from which to draw on, should the time ever come. I think this is right or close to it, but the next draft should clear this up.

Spilling the Board should be so exceptional and a smaller exe board should be able to then launch a process, which could result in both elections and in appointments. M

One comment: I thought the general view in Paris was that NomCom would not nominate members of an interim Board. I doubt the practicality of requiring it to do so.
That seems to have changed; perhaps I missed some discussion. Or misperceived the general view.
Requiring NomCom to put up alternates at the AGM creates the "people standing in the shadows waiting for a chance" that were mentioned as a prospect to be avoided, and was accepted as a reason for not requiring SOs and ACs to nominate alternates with every appointment.
Moreover, how will NomCom find people willing to commit to drop everything and become an interim director in the unlikely event of a Board spill, knowing that it is highly unlikely this will ever come to pass?
It is surely much easier to ask someone "Will you agree to serve as a director now?" than "Will you agree to serve as a director in an unspecified number of months, should some very unlikely event come to pass?".
For these reasons, I think that excusing NomCom from nominating interim directors is a better choice.
