> As a couple people indicated, this is a position in which a second year
> makes sense because one’s effectiveness increases the more you learn the
> game and demonstrate an ability to listen and offer good judgement,
> etc.  That’s why the represented groups generally seem to reappoint their
> people, as has NCUC http://www.ncuc.org/participate/ncuc-appointments/.  (In
> fact a number of colleagues already indicated at our Helsinki meeting that
> they’d be back, which should help with the efforts I mentioned previously
> to improve our procedures and institutional memory).  It’s also why the
> 2014 Board Working Group on the NomCom recommended that the terms for all
> voting members should be for two years, with no member allowed to serve for
> two consecutive terms.  Its recs were set aside because key ones were
> horrid, but this one arguably made sense.
>
> Looking to our future representation, perhaps I should say that it’s also
> a position in which veteran experience going in is rather helpful.  To be
> effective one needs background on the diverse players, interests and shared
> histories in the community.  I’d suggest that the best trajectory into the
> NomCom is to first serve in another capacity, e.g. NCUC EC or GNSO Council,
> where one has a group of colleagues and support to move up the learning
> curve.  In contrast, in the NomCom the NCUC rep is alone in a group of 15
> votes/17 voices.   Advocating balanced, high quality appointments that are
> at least not hostile to noncommercial concerns can be challenging.
>
> Further to the last point — Ed rightly mentioned the intra-GNSO
> imbalance.  A number of us have indeed raised the lack of NPOC
> representation in various contexts and gotten pushback from the
> board.  Meanwhile the three CSG constituencies get four reps (two for the
> BC!) and contracted also gets two reps.  How this will evolve if/when we
> new DNS industry constituencies due to the new gTLD program is hard to say,
> but the above mentioned 2014 Board Working Group on the NomCom most
> certainly got it wrong in suggesting that NomCom should be restructured as
> follows to avoid “GNSO over-representation”:
>
> ‐ Five members appointed from the At‐Large Advisory Committee, with one
> from each Regional At‐Large Organization
> ‐ Five members appointed from the ccNSO, with one from each geographic
> region
> ‐ Five members appointed from the ASO, with one from each geographic region
> ‐ Four members appointed from the GNSO, with one from each Stakeholder
> Group
> ‐ Up to three members appointed from the GAC
> ‐ One member each from the IAB (IETF), SSAC and RSSAC
>
> Luckily this generated an outcry and was not acted upon, but it indicates
> that composition is a can of worms to be reopened carefully…
>
> Cheers,
