    <p>The +1 expressions are not functional in an electoral sense.  But
      they do fulfill a social/community function in terms of public
      collective response.  They are part of our discussion as a group.<br>
    </p>
    <p>There will be a formal election at some point, secret ballot
      using the usual ICANN tally system, and that will decide the
      choice.</p>
    <p>I am also happy to see two excellent candidates.  It's better not
      to have unopposed candidates for election, if only for
      "structural" reasons.</p>

                                <div>Hi,<br>
                                </div>
                                <div><br>
                                </div>
                                <div>I am glad to hear that we have two
                                  nominations for this position. Like
                                  Renata, I also have a question for our
                                  candidates:<br>
                                </div>
                                <ul>
                                  <li>One of the jobs of the Nominating
                                    Committee, as best I understand it,
                                    is to ensure that the maximum number
                                    of qualified people are willing to
                                    offer themselves as nominees for a
                                    given role. If you uncover
                                    impediments which discourage people
                                    from being nominated who might
                                    otherwise be qualified and willing
                                    to volunteer their time, how would
                                    you go about eliminating or reducing
                                    those impediments?<br>
                                  </li>
                                </ul>
                                <div>I ask this because this is not just
                                  a problem which you might face on the
                                  NomCom. We as NCUC members might face
                                  it soon too. In the coming months we
                                  are going to have elections for a
                                  number of important roles (as many as
                                  four seats on the GNSO Council, as
                                  well as leadership roles on both the
                                  NCSG EC and NCUC EC). Not having a
                                  complete slate of candidates could be
                                  problematic from the perspective of
                                  diversity and in terms of making sure
                                  we have enough people both with new
                                  views and the right amount of
                                  institutional knowledge. Have you any
                                  tips you can share with us on how to
                                  build large nominee pools?<br>
