In my opinion, the NomCom should be made up by and appointed by the constituency organizations. That' s essentially the polar opposite of what I suggested.
Doing so would, with the exception of NCUC, pretty well shut out anything resembling the public interest in the nomination process. Most of what I saw as defined as "constituencies" were the organizations of vested interests and pressure groups -- registries, IP hoarders, etc. to whom free expression, accessibility and transparency are all consumed by commercial pursuits. At-Large was, so far as I can tell, invented to try to counter the well-established, well-funded constituencies. IMO having the constituencies run the NomComm guarantees a future ICANN board that is more than happy to (further) remove the public interest from its future directions. - Evan
