<p><font size="+1"><font face="Lucida Grande">I certainly did not
mean to imply that all the plus one's were just popularity; many
were accompanied by statements of the excellent qualities of
the candidate. I just meant to remind everyone that being our
only rep on the Nomcom, means figuring out how to advance our
goals for better representation, more diversity, more people
who understand end user needs and risks, etc. We are
seriously out numbered at nomcom, and getting cooperation with
other evaluators to choose someone who will be fair to our
interests strikes me as the major challenge. Getting the trust
of the other reps on the Nomcom is not done overnight, and
requires some skills. I hope that is one of the qualities which
the EC is going to evaluate.</font></font></p>

<div dir="auto">Many +1's for a candidate do not show
"popularity", but strong support from the community, indicating
that s/he represents many voices and positions in this
community. This should be well received and well interpreted by
the EC. Or should the EC nominate someone who is supported by
only a few people in the community? The EC should feel
comfortable seeing strong support for both names.

challenges of the role. It would not hurt to discuss
exactly what we want out of Nomcom, and what kind of

<div>Thanks for the email. I do agree with you

<div>Few questions on my mind. </div>
<div>Are there any voting guidelines, nomination
guidelines, campaign guidelines etc?. if yes,
i think all this information will have to be
made available to all members and if no, we
will have to begin to work on one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, when does voting starts and ends and
for how long?. I no in some instances voting
is done for a period of one week or more.</div>

<br>
What makes me worried about some of the +1<br>
- people who never contribute, yet
sometimes oppose openly to NCUC's<br>
actions +1'ing candidates<br>
- observers on the list who are holding
positions in other stakeholder<br>
groups - again normally having opposite
positions. even if not voting,<br>
attempting to influence an election<br>
- a +1 w/ no justification leaves us to
wonder whether there's a real<br>
reason for support or it's "i'm friends w/
the candidate"<br>
- new members rarely get +1s. this makes
the elections look like the<br>
dancing chairs game with always the same
ppl playing<br>
<br>
That being said, it's a good thermometer
of a candidacy. Including the<br>
show its transparency.<br>
<br>
So thanks for the candidates participation
once more and members<br>
voices in the process<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Renata<br>
