So let’s declare this closed, and I will ask the EC to formalize it so Brenden can notify the NomCom staff.

Despite joining midstream, he was able to make a positive impact from recruiting applicants to selecting individuals to positions. Selections were announced on the ICANN website August 15 <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-15-en>.

Brenden has asked the EC for names of people we should approach about applying, as well as opportunities where we might do general outreach.  He is also happy to speak with us about the process and how NCUC can best engage it.

If so we could have the contending applicants make their cases here on the list and then the EC would decide taking into account the views expressed, an assessment of the applicants' qualifications, etc.  If not, the EC can just go ahead and vote on Brenden’s renewal.
