Re: [council] Nominating Committee Draft Input

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avri.   Good thoughts.

How do you (and others) recommend we proceed?  I realize that voting is a 
non-starter on WGs when testing for consensus, but is it a requirement for 
actions or statements from the Council?

Sincerely curious---

Hi,

I am in somewhat of a quandary on this.  I am not bothered by the Nomcom 
proposal.

- i do not think it hampers diversity.  And while I understand that the 
representation of business was lowered, the representation of non commercials 
was not lowered and thus I object to indicating that the proposal does so. The 
current representation of business on the nomcom is disproportionate at this 
point and I support eliminating this double representation of big and little 
business; this historical double representation of the business constituency is 
not something I can support. I strongly support bringing Nomcom support for the 
GNSO into line with the SG model.

- i support equal footing in representation of the various SG, as well as SOAC

- I so not see a problem with the representational model

But my SG may indeed be more in agreement with what is written than me, I 
believe they may support the continued exclusion of the GAC as well.

The only thing that bothers me about the proposal is that they set out to make 
the Nomcom smaller and they instead made it bigger.

I am uncomfortable at this point with calling the opinion unanimous, and  
though I expect it has consensus we should wait to see if that is indeed the 
case.
