Just a reminder, as NomCom has been mentioned a couple times on the list lately:

Please have a look at https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-13-en <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-09-13-en> for details.  I hope we can have some noncommercial folks on the working party.  Knowledge of the NomCom is of course highly desirable.  

All the applicants were accepted and will form the WP that begins the process in February.  https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-10-10-en  Four NCUC members are in the eleven person group--Nadira Alaraj, Satish Babu, Hago Dafalla, and Brenden Kuerbis (who represented us on the 2014 & 2015 NomComs).  So my suggestion would be that people interesting in advocating possible reforms work with our team (which I guess should include me) to develop inputs when the time is right.  I’d also suggest that such folks read through the background, including the outputs of the NomCom Review (2007–2010) and the 2014 Board Working Group on NomCom, which directly addressed questions of composition, albeit in a manner quite contrary to our interests.  I’ve written here previously about that, and there was also a discussion of the matter on the list in December 2014, in the archives.

Best

Bill
