having been on ICANN'n nomcom twice, I can confirm that several board members didn't meet the requirements you find necessary for an ALAC seat. The nomcom has appointed people who were plain and simple newbies. From what I know, nobody has ever complained about this fact. How could we complain ? The decision process inside the Nomcom is so secretive that the visibility of the community either on the process or the criteria being used is inexistent. There is no possibility to appeal, challenge the choices or vote on the slate of candidates. This is a major issue that should be addressed by the Nomcom review. I think complaints will surface. Now I wonder if the selection criteria for ALAC should be more rigorous than for the board and if so why? Certainly, we need a more transparent, less challengeable, process than the Nomcom.
