The 2016<br class="">NC had one female member and appointed 2 woman and 5 men, which was<br class="">well short of balance but not hopeless. I argued the point all year to<br class="">the point of annoying colleagues, and believe that in light of the<br class="">outcomes and pending Board turnover the 2017 NC—which also has only<br class="">one female member---feels particular pressure to appoint a woman to<br class="">the Board this time around; we shall see. Looking further back, the<br class="">2015 NC had 5 female members and appointed 4 woman and 6 men, better.<br class=""> But in contrast, the 2014 NC also had 5 female members and appointed<br class="">just one woman and five men. So it’s not obvious there’s a direct<br class="">causal connection between NC composition and appointee composition;<br class="">there are a lot of other considerations in play in each case, e.g. the<br class="">number of female candidates in the applicant pools per position, skill<br class="">sets and needs identified by the respective sub communities, the<br class="">specific people up for (re)appointment, etc. On could carry the<br class="">exercise back to the beginning and add in applicant pools to get a<br class="">global assessment of the pattern over time, and I would hope that the<br class="">current NomCom Review Committee would do this. Either way, I most<br class="">certainly would not be telling female candidates not to apply based on<br class="">the above facts. We need to encourage applicants, not deter them, please.<br class=""><br class="">As to NC composition, I have suggested to colleagues that the<br class="">appointing SOACs should really try to follow a rotation principle,<br class="">rather than continually appointing men to the NC. Some parts of the<br class="">community systematically have more trouble doing this than others;<br class="">NCUC and ALAC appear to have been the best, and I hope that my<br class="">replacement as of Abu Dhabi will be consistent with this principle. I<br class="">also hope that the current external NomCom Review will make a<br class="">recommendation to this end; perhaps our representatives on it can<br class="">update as to whether consideration is being given to the matter.<br class=""><br class="">Best<br class=""><br class="">Bill<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">************************************************<br class="">William J.
