      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>

      <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>

      <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>
