Hi, I agree with Demi, and Pablo. This is an old and recurrent issue that is never solved, each SO and AC Should have the same amount of seats. Equal representation is relevant as the main role of nomcom is selecting HALF of the ICANN Board members, which is a fact that impacts all SO and AC. A number of 5 reps, one per region could be ok, but have in mind that today: 7 seats there are for GNSO 5 seats there are for ALAC, one per region rest SO and AC have one GAC does not appoint a representative in Nomcom for more than a decade.... see details here: https://www.icann.org/nomcom2023 Regards Olga El mar, 20 jun 2023 a las 9:14, Demi Getschko via Ccnso-council (< ccnso-council@icann.org>) escribió:
Pablo + 1 here!
This is an old issue, never resolved. We are severely underrepresented in NomCom... best!

Dear All: I agree with Stephen's remark, no SO or AC will give up seats at the table to increase ccNSO's participation. Consequently, it seems to me the logical path is to increase our number to 5 members (1 per region). I would agree to less than five if those that currently have five members cut down their membership to an equal number as the ccNSO. Regards,

Hi,
Further Jordan and Nick’s remarks, I personally do not see how we can achieve a rebalancing effort in any of our lifetimes without an approach that does not involve expansion of the NomCom membership.
I just do not see the other SO/AC’s giving up some seats at the table to the ccNSO. So I think, to use an American expression regarding our Supreme court, we need to “ack the NomCom.”
Best Regards,
Stephen

Dear All
We had a great ICANN meeting and I hope everyone arrived safely back home.
Nick, so far we don't have any input on what other SOs/ACs are going to respond. During one of the Chairs monthly calls it was brought to the table and it seemed that we didn't need coordination. If we feel it would be best to share views before the formal response I can always reach out to them and seek input.
Here is the ICANN Correspondence: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/correspondence
There are very few responses already regarding the NomCom rebalancing topic.
On the other hand, some of you approached me to be allowed to contribute to the response and here I am sharing the Google Doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OeX5vRNKkgOME5IWbTeAPxffdMhednPE/edit
Please add your comments and suggestions by the 22 June. Afterwards the Ad Hoc team will clean it up and circulate a final version for approval on the 26 June.
Best regards,
Alejandra

It’s hard to see another way to do it.
Does anyone have any insights as to how other participants (such as the GNSO and ALAC) are looking at this? Might be a good idea to coordinate responses, just a thought.

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:

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.
