Is this a solution looking for a problem or is there a problem of
which I am unaware. Seems to me, we have tried to get the
representation with confidence in mind. I know we talked about
diversity with agreement. But if our best representation is not
of the right sex......? I for one just want our consensus to be
aggressively pursued by whom ever we feel most confident. I never
got the impression any of us was a bigot. We have a liberty
minded group, I believe.<br>

Hi Alain
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The process agreed agreed June 2010 <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/other/aoc-reviews">http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/other/aoc-reviews</a>
is that</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"If the list does not meet the above mentioned diversity
objectives, the Council as a whole may choose to endorse up to
two additional candidates from the applicant pool who would help
to give the list of GNSO nominees the desired balance. In this
case, the Council would hold a vote during its teleconference,
with sixty percent support of both houses represented in the
Council being required for endorsement. If no candidate
obtains that level of support, the list of endorsements obtained
via the bottom-up process of stakeholder group nominations will
be deemed final and forwarded to ICANN."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So the additional nominees would be of the GNSO generally,
not of the houses or SGs. The CPH stance was thus technically
fine, just ill-considered.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>

<div>Did not know it was an option for contracting
parties to block non-contracted parties additional
candidates. Is that the right interpretation? Did they
also blocked additional candidates that would have
added gender diversity?</div>

I am told that the contracting parties blocked all
additional candidates that would have added some geo
diversity to the group. That part is disappointing.
