It has to be seen in conjunction with the review of the composition of the Board. In essence, we need to keep a global balance. If, for instance, ALAC would elect direct representatives to the Board, like the SOs, a reduction of the presence in NomCom would be reasonable. I am just making an example here, not taking any commitment to what the Board will decide, all what I am saying is that we can't see all the different bodies in isolation. To make another example, it is also reasonable that if ALAC takes direct engagement in the GNSO (which is a radically different thing than having individual ALSes participating in ALAC and in a Stakeholder Group) a reduction of its "power" as AC could be in order. This is related to the total number of representatives in the NomCom, and ultimately in the way that Directors are elected. The matter is complex. For this reason the BGC has recommended to establish a separate committee, and the Board has deliberated in this sense in Cairo. Cheers, Roberto

Reducing the weight of the Alac in the nomcom would be a shame IMHO.

For what it's worth, GNSO collectively has more seats on the nominating committee, 7 to 5.
I would not base a strategy on the current seat allocation for the NomCom, considering that a review of the NomCom is
underway, and the
current allocation might no longer be valid in the future.
