Results of the Voting for ALAC NominatingCommittee 2008 Appointments

[Mawaki Chango]

All,

In my view, Danny has a point, and this discussion is of
interest to NCUC given the role that Robert has played, and and
the even greater one that he is apparently called to play in the
future in this constituency.

Elections, or any mechanisms for designating representatives are
due processes, at least in the 21st century. I am not aware that
this should be done by co-optation, not matter for what "good"
reasons one may think of. I agree that a candidate who has been
duly nominated and seconded should compete with her challengers
for the public vote, unless your processes give the discretion
to one person, based on informal discussions, to designate the
ultimate competitors.

It is my impression that that kind of practices are not an
accident (e.g., secret deals for which prominent members on this
constituencies have always and rightfully blamed ICANN for,
along with patterns of selectively replying to people/emails
that one pleases while questions of public or common interest
are raised.) This constituency should pay careful attention to
the responsibilities it entrusts individuals involved in those
practices.

Regards,

Mawaki
