<div dir="auto"><div>Hi ,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks Farzaneh for raising those questions/comments.</div><div dir="auto">If I may add one is I am observing if I am not mistaking that geographical diversity didn't improve as Africa went from having 3 voting board members including a woman to only 1 voting board member appointed by ASO (so none appointed by nomcom), which is the bare minimal according to ICANN bylaws. My understanding that even the non voting liaison to board from GAC is also term limited this year . Such unbalance is not good in term of diversity or optics to outside for a global organization. <br>I am really keen to understand noncom rationale behind that, while I understand the confidentiality rules that it operates within.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rafik </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 14, 2022, 21:34 farzaneh badii <<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto">Thanks Akinremi for your hard work. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto">I think NomCom unfortunately institutionally has been failing in its mission and it gets worse every year. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto">The problem this year:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto">1.
