FW: Final Draft response letter on re-balancing the NomCom
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC June 28, 2023

June 28, 2023

From: "Stephen Deerhake @ ASNIC" <sdeerhake(a)nic.as> Date: Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 09:54 To: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Cc: "cnso-council(a)icann.org" <cnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [ccnso-council] Final Draft response letter on re-balancing the NomCom Greetings, Last sentence of the first paragraph on p. 2 (Begins “Further, independent…”) refers to “papers” twice. We might want to tweak this a bit. 2nd paragraph on p. 2 should read “…on the other side as a Decisional Participant.” 3rd paragraph on p. 2 should read “Although we appreciate the difference in responsibilities between the NomCom appointing organization and being a Decisional Participant, we do believe that the role as a Decisional Participant reflects the role of the ccNSO in ICANN and the value it brings to ICANN as a whole, and this should be reflected in the NomCom as well.” Response to Question two beginning “Yes, because the ICANN SO’s…” should read “Yes we do, because the ICANN SO’s..” Response to Question three should read “It is our opinion that such a review of balance should take place every time a full-cycle of appointments has taken place. For example, every 5-6 years after the last review, when – assuming the current proposed bylaw change becomes effective – a delegate has served two years on the NomCom with a minimum of one term between their first and second terms. Response to Question 4 should read “It is our view that the…” Response to Question 5 should read “…Participants and as a member of the…” Overall, this is a very solid piece of work and I believe it captures the spirit of our discussion of this matter. Best Regards, Stephen From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Bart Boswinkel via Ccnso-council <ccNSO-Council(a)icann.org> Reply-To: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, June 26, 2023 at 09:36 To: "ccNSO-Council(a)icann.org" <ccNSO-Council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Final Draft response letter on re-balancing the NomCom Dear all, Please find included the final draft letter in reponse to request for input on re-balancing the NomCom (see also: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OeX5vRNKkgOME5IWbTeAPxffdMhednPE/edit) You are kindly requested to express you final view by Thursday 29 June 2023, noon UTC.

on the NomCom rebalancing
by Jordan Carter June 26, 2023

June 26, 2023

Hi all This email is about the response to Tripti's letter on the rebalancing of the NomCom. The draft was on our list recently and is downloadable here: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/228788163/Item%2012%20-%20… In specific reply to Question 4 almost at the end of the doc, the suggestion is that there be a Cross Community Working Group to do the work of developing a change to the NomCom's balance, which will lead to bylaws changes. I can't think of a different way to do it. * Clearly the Board coming up with a proposal and seeking public comment isn't the right way. * The NomCom can't propose changes to itself. * The SO/AC Chairs leadership forum does not have the mandate to propose specifics in such a potentially contentious area. * Getting some external consultant to do a review would just be an interesting input - we clearly can't just say "ok" to something someone outside the community wrote for us. Perhaps we could expand the point to say something like the following - shared as a rough draft to see what people think... 4. How do you suggest that the NomCom's composition be rebalanced? It is our view that, the rebalancing should be achieved through a cross-community group process, chartered by the community and Board which ultimately would result in suggestions for Bylaw changes. We think work on this question, in whatever form is finally agreed, should start expeditiously since it will take some time to start and some time to do the work. We are prepared to participate in a chartering group in the near future. The goal should be that there is a process of some type proposed for discussion at ICANN78 in October. _______ Jordan Carter Internet Governance and Policy Director jordan.carter(a)auda.org.au<mailto:jordan.carter@auda.org.au> +61 417 243 647 [https://assets.auda.org.au/a/2020-11/Asset+19.png] .au Domain Administration www.auda.org.au<http://www.auda.org.au/> [cid:image001.png@01D9A00B.66A6C470]<https://www.auda.org.au/join-auda/apply-now> ________________________________ Important Notice This email may contain information which is confidential and/or subject to legal privilege, and is intended for the use of the named addressee only.
