[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vanda,

Please see below a copy of the email sent by the ICANN general Counsel at the 
time, giving his (very clear) assessment of the situation. I hope this can 
help. I am copying the Council so everyone is aware of the ongoing discussions 
between you and I on this and the fact that we are working to resolve this 
issue.

Thanks,

Stéphane Van Gelder

>> Dear Stephane and Adam,

>> I write to you jointly as Chairs of the GNSO and the NomCom.  I received the 
>> attached note from Carlos Dionisio Aguirre regarding the NomCom appointees 
>> to the GNSO and noted the need to provide advice on the ICANN Bylaws. 
>> 
>> Article X, Section 3.e requires the NomCom to appoint three members of the 
>> GNSO Council.  Of those appointees, one shall be non-voting, and “one voting 
>> representative shall be assigned to each House . . . by the Nominating 
>> Committee.”  This Bylaws provision requires the NomCom to assign voting 
>> representatives among the GNSO’s contracted and non-contracted party houses. 
>>  Pursuant to the Bylaws, this assignment work should not be left to the GNSO.
>> 
>> I appreciate that with the GNSO Restructuring, the initial assignment of the 
>> single NomCom Appointee (NCA) selected by the NomCom in 2010 did not pose a 
>> lot of complexity.  However, now that the restructured form of the GNSO 
>> Council is in place and the NomCom is making appointments for multiple NCAs, 
>> it is important for the NomCom to complete the assignment process and 
>> identify the roles of the NCAs to the GNSO.  If possible, I encourage the 
>> NomCom to complete this assignment process prior to the ICANN AGM in Dakar, 
>> Senegal and the seating of the new GNSO Council members (28 October 2011).
>> 
>> Due to the NomCom’s appointment rotation (2 NCAs to the GNSO in odd years, 1 
>> NCA in even years), it may be beneficial for the NomCom and GNSO to consult 
>> together to determine if the GNSO would be better served by having both 
>> voting NCAs rotate at the same time, or if it is preferable to have 1 voting 
>> and 1 non-voting NCA rotate at the same time, with the term of the other 
>> voting NCA rotating in even years.  Further, as the NomCom and the GNSO 
>> continue dialogue on identifying skill sets for the NCAs to the GNSO, skills 
>> desirable for each role (Non-Contracted House NCA, Contracted House NCA and 
>> Non-Voting NCA) could be identified for NomCom consideration.
>> 
>> I look forward to seeing you in Dakar.  If you have any questions, or we can 
>> be of assistance to you, please let us know.
