we have two). I think the NCSG as a whole should select two Nomcom seats, and that CSG should also only have two.</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I'd be very happy to see that happen.<br><br>You might very well be right about not mentioning the amount of constituencies apart from saying that even though they were used to allocate seats before, it's been outdated for years already. Another seat for our stakeholdergroup is a minimum but if we have two for each SG, we also need to increase the amount of GNSO seats at NomCom to eight. That could in turn be rationalised with the high increase in the workload of the GNSO in recent years.<br><br>I think it would be good to remind the board members of the current NomCom imbalance at every possible turn as long as the review is still ongoing. After that, it'll be locked away for quite some time again. This would be a good opportunity for the board to make some actual research on the issue, in answering the question - at least for the members that come and meet us. I believe Matt is already very familiar with the issue, so it'd be nice to get someone else to answer these questions.<br><br>-Raoul</div></div></div></div>
