Hello, I believe the reason there are several nominations is that people want to get involved, even if it means starting in a role that is less leadership intensive. From past experience, we've seen that people interested in leadership roles may not be selected if they're not familiar to the decision-makers. However, if someone shows interest in a role, that's enough to demonstrate their commitment, and they should be considered for it. By doing so, we can encourage participation and give everyone a fair chance.

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.
