Hi Robert
Slight clarification:
Article XI,S2,4(e)
e. The ALAC shall annually appoint one
non-voting liaison to the ICANN Board of Directors, without limitation on
re-appointment, and shall, after consultation with each RALO, annually appoint
five voting delegates (no two of whom shall be citizens of countries in the
same Geographic Region, as defined according to Section 5 of Article VI)
to the Nominating Committee.
The entire ALAC appoints after consultation, not just the 3
regional reps. I’ve emailed the Secretariats already to ask them to get the
RALOs to give us their recommendations soon. If you can assist in getting the
process going in the NA region, that would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [NA-Discuss] FW: [At-Large] NomCom review
I've been informed that the three North American At-Large
Advisory representatives (Alan, Beau and myself) get to appoint one voting
member of the nomcom. I am not sure what the process is...
Having just learned this, my view is that the NA RALO must
be consulted and play a key role in this most important decision. How we should
go about this, i'm not sure.I'm open to suggestions.
regards,
Robert

There's also some feedback loop logic inherent in a process in which
ALAC picks members of NonComm who then pick members of ALAC.
If direct Board elections aren't in the cards soon then the NomComm
ought to be substantially -- if not overwhelmingly -- populated by
people who are there to protect the public interest and the focus on
ICANN's mandate (ie, not general Internet governance and not trademark
treaties). My initial preference would be that the NomComm would be
populated by one appointment from each NSO and one from each At-Large
Region as well as the previous Chair of the Board -- but I can be easily
swayed to other models that preserve the intent.
I have other opinions related to the relationship between the ALAC and
the NomComm, but that may be more appropriate for the ALAC review. My
view here is that there should be NO NomComm-selected people on ALAC. If
there is a pressing need for a third person from each region not picked
by RALOs, then that spot should be elected by At-Large individuals not
affiliated to a RALO in each region. (IMO this may help address the
"enfranchisement of the unaffiliated", if only partially. It's still
a
far cry from direct Board elections.)
Having said all this. I promised I would limit my participation on
issues that weren't specifically project or policy related. Neither the
composition of NomComm nor of ALAC will be of any relevance (from our
POV) if at-large doesn't contribute to policy. I've now stated my piece
and will leave the rest to others, unless I'm specifically dragged in
(as happened here ;-) ).
