Not being a Madame nor a chair, I can answer with no authority whatsoever!

But I suggest we put it on the agenda for a BRIEF discussion at our next meeting (presumably teleconference) and decide to either go ahead and do it, or not do it, or to hold a formal vote.

Beau, perhaps I missed something, but what I recall is your description of why he would make a good advisor, but I don't recall seeing a statement that he is interested in this. Can you confirm that he is (or tell me I missed a prior statement).

Bureaucracy and procedure aside, do we want Jonathan to work with us or not?
 
What's the next step? A vote?
 
Madame chairman, do you need anything else from me to proceed?

Just for clarification - that suggestion (as well as the one about
replacing the five Nomcom-appointed ALAC members with members selected
in some other way internal to the constituency) was usually received as
a very preliminary idea, since the composition of the ICANN Board will
be the subject of the upcoming Board review, while that of the ALAC will
be the subject of the ALAC review; while of course the Nomcom is
interrelated with both, those suggestions were received by many as a bit
outside of the reviewer's mandate.

This doesn't mean that it cannot happen, but it is very hard to imagine
that that could happen before at least a couple of years, if you
consider that the Board review hasn't even started yet, and the ALAC
review is at a very preliminary stage, and whatever conclusions they may
yield have then to be examined by the Board and the community,
discussed, finalized, and possibly subject to a transition period.
