<div dir="ltr">Greetings All, <br>Hopefully everyone is having a great summer and ICANN KL is coming up soon <div>As to the discussion on diversity and the NOMCOM selection. This issue was brought</div><div>up by Maureen and interesting the NOMCOM reps stay true to the party line that merit trumps</div><div>diversity.</div><div>I will like to point out this article by the Harvard Business Journal about the power of diversity </div><div>on boards. As a former NOMCOM member I reached out to all the associations that encourage representations</div><div>on boards that are women, visible minorities etc and encouraged them to pass the information onward. </div><div>Clearly the message about ICANN doesn't resonate and the communication department needs to fix this problem since</div><div>we are not finding the right people. The IT recruitment companies thy use tend to focus on Telco executives etc and they are easy numbers</div><div>for their contracts but relevant experience or knowledge. I have to agree with
