>> Hello
>>
>> Thanks much folks for the various expressions of support.  I would indeed
>> like to serve on the 2017 NomCom.  I worked pretty hard on the 2016
>> committee and am ready to do it again.
>>
>> 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,
>>
>> Bill
