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. -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/ London Internet Exchange Ltd 21-27 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY Company Registered in England No. 3137929 Trinity Court, Trinity Street, Peterborough PE1 1DA
