Re: [council] Revised comments on the NomCom Recommendations from the Board Working Group

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect that you’re right, James. Additionally, it is a different section of 
the by-laws, and would probably warrant a separate project and its own public 
comment period. Still…, the two issues (at least from a GNSO perspective) seem 
to me to be very interrelated.

I haven’t seen any metrics on how much board-related work is dedicated to 
gTLDs, but would be interested to learn more about this. Not sure if any 
metrics on this actually exist, or not. Also not sure about how much NomCom 
work is dedicated to the GNSO relative to other SOs/ACs, but appointing board 
members certainly affects the GNSO, as well as other aspects of the NomCom such 
as appointing GNSO councillors.

Thanks.
