Peter Thank you for this suggestion.
-Demostrated employment by a ccTLD manager a commitment to hand in her/his resignation from the CSC to the ccNSO council upon leaving that employment
I'm a little unsure at this ti me whether the ccNSO has the ability (like some Member States try with EU law implementation) to "gold-plate" the ICANN By-Laws which are specifically intended (at least by the ICANN board and staff at the time) that appointees serve in an individual capacity, not ex officio. And I'm not sure this is a principle that we necessarily wish to impose en passant without serious futher debate and discussion throughout the ccNSO Membership, and consulation (if only informally) with the ICANN legal and the ICANN Board. It has implications for Councillors and for Board Members. The situation with our two ccNSO appointed Board Members is that at least one (and possibly both) are no longer employed by a ccTLD manager. I do not recommend making such a change just yet, but it is something we must discuss in depth as soon as we can.
