perform its duties; sometimes this may involve filling gaps in the skill set, 
at other times it may involve addressing a diversity or other demographic 
balance or may involve bringing a necessary perspective into the council that 
is not already present.  Generally an appointee needs to fulfill several of 
these needs at the same time.}</font></div><div><br

 {\rtlch \ltrch\loch\f3\fs24\lang1033\i0\b0 As discussed above the majority of 
the councillors are appointed by the constituencies and represent those 
constituencies in the council.  Nomcom appointees, on the other hand, are not 
the representatives of any specific group, though they may choose to re
present the interests of groups that are not currently represented in council.  
Most importantly  Nomcom appointees should be people chosen, \{often from 
outside the GNSO constituencies and sometime from outside ICANN,\} who bring a 
fresh perspective into th
e council and who accept the responsibility to do their best to support ICANN 
in its mission and core values.  \{Appointees should be people who can help the 
GNSO council to perform its duties; sometimes this may involve filling gaps in 
the skill set, at ot
her times it may involve addressing a diversity or other demographic balance or 
may involve bringing a necessary perspective into the council that is not 
already present.  Generally an appointee needs to fulfill several of these 
needs at the same time.\}}
