[NCUC-DISCUSS] NomCom Review

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi,

Thanks Bill for sharing this.
having experienced nomcom as NCUC representative in 2013, I am cautious
regarding focusing too much on the representation issue. I am not sure that
trying to arrange the numbers will fix the issue or if there is even a
right number.  the concerns are legitimate however we need think about the
full picture.

I hope that the nomcom review will focus more on the process and how nomcom
operates, decision making, role of chairs, also other aspect like
institutional memory between outgoing and incoming nomcoms. basically,
reviewing the structure and the processes to provide recommendations for
real improvement.

what matters at the end is the outcome of nomcom: appointing candidates to
different leadership positions. The challenge always remain regarding how
to increase the pool of candidate and having more noncommercial candidates
with strong chances to be selected.

Best,

Rafik
