In short, if you look back at the list of NomCom appointees, you will find quite a few who did very little during their two years but come to meetings. Little contribution, little involvement in any of our activities, etc.

If you look at the history of those appointed by the NomCom more than once, you find very few people. Some went on to other things in ICANN. Others either chose not to continue, or reapplied and were not selected.

So the challenge is to try to attract people who can be recognized by the NomCom as people who will become involved.

Folks

I”m not volunteering for this job - too much on my plate at the moment.  But my first question is to Alan.  Your statement includes the comment that some of the appointees by the NomCom have been a disappointment.  My question is how - not putting in the hours, not being able to contribute to policy discussions, not representing their regional areas????  And maybe also look at who do you (and others) consider as a success story - and why.  Then come up with a list of essentials:  knowledge of the DNS, ability to work in the English language, ability to put in the time - whatever. And we also need to recognise that our strength comes from the fact that, amongst our team, we have people with different skill sets - a strength, not a weakness. 

The current criteria in the document includes a lot of qualities/skills.  We should be asking ourselves which are the most important - to guide in selecting the three people?  Looking at the listed criteria below, I think we are looking for someone with knowledge/experience in And critically: Just my two cents - but whatever the small group decides - it will be really helpful to any selection committee to be very clear about what are the really important skills/experience/ability  being sought (and the current list doesn’t do that)

Asunto: [ALAC] Fwd: NomCom selection of ALAC Members

I have received nothing so far in reply to this message. I will be reaching
out to a few people to help me adjust these documents, but all input is
welcome to try to ensure that applicants know what they are getting
themselves into.

The deadline is the start of next week.

Subject: NomCom selection of ALAC Members

The NomCom selects five ALAC members and over the years, some have done
well and others not.

The documentation used in the last year is attached. I am asking
whether there is still time to revise it for the coming year. I suspect
that if the answer is yes, time will be tight.

I am interested in putting together a very small drafting team to
consider such revisions.

Alan
