Re: [ga] Nominating Committee Review

It is our misfortune that he, like most of ICANN's directors, was (or is) trapped and constrained by ICANN's ever deepening culture of substituting matutinal omphaloskepsis for true self introspection and the exchange of thin pleasantries for constructive discourse. ("matutinal omphaloskepsis" means contemplation of one's navel by the light of the rising sun.) As Lyman was also one of the ICANN directors appointed to the ICANN Evolution and Reform Committee that created the "Nominating Committee",... Yes, there is more than a wiff that, as is common in ICANN, that the reach for "external" actors is done with very short arms. Your suggestion of recusal is well grounded. --karl--
