by 'constituency organizations,' I mean the Nomcom should be appointed by and made up of individuals found somewhere within the NARALO, ALAC, SSAC, RSSAC, TLG, ASO, GNSO, CCNSO, etc.

The reason is that I feel we need people who are familiar with ICANN and what it does, and what it should be doing. People with intimate knowledge. Now, candidates for the positions should be drawn from a wide pool both inside and outside ICANN.

My reasoning is reverberated by Robert's email on this subject. The ALAC representatives should be doing just that, looking at their RALOs and seeking input toward their votes. But how?? I guess we'll get to that.

Therefore, if we make this process to work as hoped... The ALSs will continue to look out for the public interest, feeding that viewpoint through to ALAC, which optimally will continue their fiduciary responsibility toward their matters.

Randy,

Thanks for your opinion, but could you perhaps justify
your view?

Constituency organizations are nothing more than
special-interest communities that already elect
members to the Board by way of the Supporting
Organizations. Why should the ICANN Board be
populated only by the world of special interests while
the public interest community gets no representation
whatsoever?
