[NCUC-EC] [Important] NomCom Delegate

[Tatiana Tropina]

Dear Farz, dear all,
I am fine with the text of the call except one question:
The sentence "There are specific criteria for NomCom delegates as
speculated in ICANN Bylaws and other sources :"
The email shows me this as a quote from somewhere. Is the word "speculated"
the right word or shall it be "stipulated" or "provided for"?
Cheers
Tanya
