I know - the topic referred to liaisons, which are non-voting. I didn't realise he was referring to the nomcom members which is a whole nother thing.

The liaison positions are all non-voting. That's been one major issue for the NA members (among others) Jacqueline On 12/13/06, Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org: <mailto:roessler@does-not-exist.org> > wrote:

There are quite a few liaison positions. The posts are as follows:

(5) seats on the Nominating Committee (out of a total of 17 voting members)

These are *not* liaison positions, but appointments of voting members, similar to the appointments that a number of other bodies and constituencies make.  That distinction is pretty important for the overall discussion, I think.

...

Note that there are particular provisions for the Regional At-Large Organisations to provide input into the appointment of the five voting seats on the Nominating Committee - with RALOs in later stages of formation in many regions, you may wish to consider how to provide input to ALAC with respect to these positions in due course. There is one seat per Geographic Region as defined by ICANN.
