[NCUC-DISCUSS] URGENT - Time sensitive What is your view on on the question of rebalancing the Nominating Committee (NomCom)

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Dear NCUC members,

Good day and I hope your week is going well.
Thank you for participating in the NCUC Readout session.  As discussed in
the meeting today, please share  your response to these questions to gather
our community views.

ICANN Board Chair Tripti Sinha is  requesting feedback from your respective
community groups on the question of rebalancing the Nominating Committee (
NomCom) by **30 June 2023**. As noted in the letter, the ICANN Board wishes
to engage with the community to understand the community’s views on this
topic. The Board is specifically seeking input on the following questions:

1. What does it mean to have a balanced NomCom at a point in time?
For example, what criteria would you apply to measure or assess whether the
NomCom is balanced? And further, how can one test whether or not the NomCom is
balanced?

2. Do you support the view that the current composition of the NomCom needs
to be rebalanced? Please explain why or why not.

3. How frequently does the balance need to be measured or assessed?

4. How do you suggest that the NomCom’s composition be rebalanced?

5. Who should conduct this work, and how should it be conducted?

6. How would your community group prioritize consideration of this issue
within your planning efforts?

Additional background on the work to date on this topic, including by the
NomCom Review Implementation Working Group that
was set up to implement the outcomes of the Second NomCom Review (see
