RE: [council] NCAs in the new GNSO Council structure

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,
 
My understanding is that it is a one time effort for the initial seating
of the NCAs on the new Council. The revised Bylaws call for the NomCom
to do this task in the future.  The problem this year is that they
received the request very late in their process.
 
Chuck

        If I understood Avri correctly yesterday, the immediate concern
is to address where this coming year's NCA's sit, as it is possible (but
not a sure thing) that next year the NomCom itself will take on the
role. So any decision made now could be with the understanding that it
is for this year only, with the three known NCAs.
        
        Or it could be a generalized solution that will work every year
if the NomCom does not do it.
        
        One last thought is that if option e is adopted, I do not think
that it would be fair to say that Andrey Kolesnikov is destined to fill
that role for his entire two years. He applied for the position based on
the old structure and rules.

                Hi,
                as discussed yesterday in the conference call, and to
start the discussion in our list, I am including possible options for
assigning the role of the three NCAs in the new structure of the GNSO
Council:
                
                Option a:  The NCAs talk it through and figure out which
roles seem right to them.
                
                Option b:  Random selection.
                
                Option c:  The council members decide with random
selection of which House chooses first.
                
                Option d:  The two Houses collaborate and decide among
them where the NCAs will be assigned.
                
                Option e:  The new, inexperienced NCA rep assumes the
non-voting Council seat and one of the above options is used to assign
the two House seats.
                
                Option f:   The experienced NCA rep assumes the
non-voting Coundil seat and one of the above options is used to assign
the two House seats
                
                Option g: (Combination of option a and d) The two Houses
collaborate and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned, with
a refusal option by any of the NCAs.
                
                Please iclude other options thay you may think of and
share your comments about this in the list. 
                
                We should decide about this in our next GNSO conference
call on 24 September.
                
                Best regards
                Olga
