[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Delegate to the ICANN 2016 NominatingCommittee

[James Gannon]

Fully agree and I think that Bills notification to the list of the upcoming selection requirement was that open call for nominations from the NCUC community, to create the shortlist that the EC will then make its selection from.
That was my reading of his initial email at any rate and my response was to suggest I echoed AE's interest in having Bill run for this crucial position for NCUC given that his term as Chair was coming to an end. I don’t think anyone was suggesting an appointment by acclimation merely that a large volume of us were nominating Bills candidature for this role to be considered by the EC in line with the current charter process.

So I would suggest that the initial email from Bill was exactly that open call for candidates who fulfil the selection criteria set out in the bylaws for NomCom appointees and that it was a process open to everyone who is on this list and was thus notified.

James: you make the point that "selection" and "election" are two different things, which is indisputable. Indeed, the process as defined in the current Bylaws, requires that a short list of selected candidates has been prepared, and that the EC then "votes" to elect one person. Whatever you prefer to call the process, the basic questions remain those posted in my short comment to Bill (above): is there (or why isn't there) a constituency-wide call for candidates ? Who determines the selection criteria for the short list of candidates ? Who establishes the short list ? In direct response to your comment, I think that, EVEN UNDER THE EXISTING BYLAWS, the call for candidates and the process should be open to all registered constituency members, up to the establishment of the short list.
