You are quite right Evan. I am lobbying to have more information about these positions posted on the wiki page so that, when elections come up, there are some clear indications of what that position entails and what skills would be expected. Currently, we have such a document up re: roles and responsibilities of ALAC members.
A similiar document will be posted for the secretariat position shortly. Sylvia is working on it.
As you noted, Nomcom is quite a different role and, as stated
below, "this is more of a human resources task to choose leaders
than one which demands leadership itself. Discretion and the
ability to work intensively within a small group are paramount."
In addition, fairly deep knowledge and experience in the work of
ICANN's various constituencies would be an asset. Nomcom members
are not available to participate in the other meetings that go on
during ICANN annual meetings. They meet separately.
We should stop assuming that all this is common knowledge within
our group.
Hi all,
I am intrigued to see what I believe to be FIVE nominations (so far!) for the position of NARALO representative to the ICANN Nomination Committee. And I see that some of you have already posted qualifications.
I would note that this particular position is quite different from that of being a rep on ALAC or a delegate to other ICANN communities. It does not require great strength in policy or ideology. Rather than demonstrating your own background in ICANN issues, should you win your role will be to work in a group to assess OTHER people's grasp of both the issues and their perspectives.
That is, this is more of a human resources task to choose leaders than one which demands leadership itself. Discretion and the ability to work intensively within a small group are paramount.
--I am hoping that the candidates will consider this when posting their Statements of Interest. I am looking for people who would excel at being judges of potential leaders rather than being leaders themselves.
I look forward to reading what each of the candidates has to say in asking for my vote.
