This thread seems to have been split into two, one on At-Large and one on NA-discuss. I posted this comments on the NA-discuss list, but want to make it here too to ensure that we do not go off on a tangent... My apologies to those on both lists.
To be clear, the NomCom review suggested that the ICANN Bylaws be changed to allow the ALAC to name two voting Directors to the ICANN Board of Directors (a subset of which the review sometimes called the Policy Board).
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. -- vb.
