Dear Colleagues, I would recommend the incumbent, Glenn McKnight, be re-appointed as the North American regional At-Large Delegate to the 2014 Nominating Committee (NomCom). The reports from the NomCom to the NA-Discuss list during his tenure have been excellent. However he is term-limited out and no longer eligible. I know from others who have served on the NomCom that the evaluation of the candidates for selection to the Board, the GNSO, CCNSO, and ALAC is time consuming. I also know from those same individuals that the members of the NomCom, year after year, diligently execute the responsibility of finding the better choices for the open positions. Board members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee include: Vint Cerf, Susan Crawford, Hagen Hultzsch, Joichi Ito, Veni Markovski, Hualin Qian, Njeri Rionge, Vanda Scartezini, 2007: Harald Alvastrand, Dennis Jennings, Jean-Jack Subrenat, Steve Crocker, Katim Touray, Rajasekar Ramaraj (2nd term), George Sadowsky, Cherine Chalaby, Bertrand de La Chapelle, Erika Mann, Steve Crocker, Judith Vasquez, Olga Madruga-Forti, Gonzalo Navarro, and George Sadowsky (2nd term). ccNSO Council members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee include: Becky Burr, Nashwa Abdel-Baki, Jian Zhang, Sokol Haxhiu, Hong Xue, and Mary Wong. GNSO Council members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee include: Jon Bing, Avri Doria, Olga Cavalli, Terry Davis, Olga Cavalli (2nd term), Andrey Kolesnikov, Carlos Dionisio Aguirre, Lanre Ajayi, Thomas Rickert, Jennifer Wolfe. ALAC members who have been selected by the Nominating Committee include: Jean Polly, Jacqueline Morris, Alan Greenberg, Annette Muehlerg, Vanda Scartezini, Fatimata, Seye Sylla, Nguyen Thu Hue, Alan Greeberg (2nd term), Adam Peake, Jame Seng, Carlton Samuels, Dave Kissoondoyal, Sebastian Bachollet, Marc Rotenberg, Ganesh Kumar, Titi Akinsanmi, Rinalia Abdul Rahim, Carlton Samueles (2nd term), Alan Greenberg (2nd term), and Jean-Jacques Subrenat. This record of selecting talented and dedicated people to serve in positions of responsibility impresses me, and I'd like this record continued in the coming year, by nominating Louis Houle. I've known Louis through the .quebec project and though the NA-Discuss list. He has been, like Sébastien Bachollet earlier in the larger ICANN community, one of the few non-anglophones who has consistently contributed to policy and process discussions.
