I understand time consumer is not really small. I am now dedicating 1 to 2 hours at least by day to read ICANN materials, groups materials and ALAC specific issues and still did not assumed any group coordination! and when I do I believe this will add at least 2 more hours a week minimum. Traveling time normally is long and for the majority at ""employee age"² it is not easy get authorisation to travel. Minimum 30-50 hours /month Time, from NOMCOMM point of view, is a good contributor to reduced number of candidates for ACs and SOs. Anyway the number/ quality of candidates in our region is growing and we have had good opportunities to choose good candidates. Another relevant problem from this region still languages, of course interpretation solves reasonable part of this problem but still people need to communicate in English to really follow what is going on on conversations, other constituencies, corridor talk etc. Young people has much better languages skills but has job time constrains, and vice-e-versa. My two cents During the NOMCOM period ( I have been there for 4 years) NEW good candidate is not easy to outreach. I really talked with several groups, went to LACNIC/ LACNOG regional meetings, IPv6, general NGOs meetings, lawyers and engineers association meetings , talked during several meetings I organised for e-commerce around Mercosur area, and we got good candidates, not so many, but good ones. So Outreach works nbut really demand a lot of work from NOMCOM members. But they are there to do such task. What we need is a person with interest in this community,that understand the region behaviour, has experience working with communities by themselves in the region, with focus on Internet issues, with or without focus on ICANNN, but working for the users: promoting connection, access, content all kinds dedicated to the Internet users, ICT consumers¹ rights etc.etc. Knowledge of Internet environmental is essential in my opinion or you can not convince people if you do not know very well what are you talking about to respond tricky questions.

+1 to Vanda's observation on time required as well as focus. It has to be broader than ICANN to do the outreach bit for ICANN's sake. The activities identified by Vanda mutually reinforce each other, all to the benefit of names and numbers policy development. As an ALAC member and WG chair, the minimum time investment for me just to keep up was at least 10 hours per week to ICANN matters.
