<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hello all. As the
candidate who withdrew (there is no process for rejecting an
appointment) from this messy dispute between the nomcom and
ccNSO, I can tell you that you need to make sure your rep on the
nomcom is adequately briefed every time a new round starts. The
turnover means that institutional knowledge falls away and that
is what happened in the case of nomcom and ccnso. <br>

<div>I think you touched on something very important. I think we
do need to develop our own profile of our ideal candidate in
order to assist the NomCom in finding people who can faithfully
represent the diverse interests and communities of the GNSO. As
a starting point we might turn to some of the documents that
ISOC has produced in relation to its recent call for nominations
for its Board of Trustees to get a sense of what qualifications
they consider to be highly desirable.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But, this is only useful if the information reaches the
NomCom. Please correct me if I am wrong, but one of the recent
issues which the ccNSO had with the NomCom was they appointed an
individual <a

rel="nofollow" moz-do-not-send="true">contravening
long-standing guidance</a> issued by the ccNSO. This was
unfair on the candidate who was rejected. And from what I
understand, it happened because the NomCom hadn't done their
homework and reviewed the advice received on their evaluation
criteria.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is hard to know how true this is, because a lot of what
the NomCom does happens behind closed doors, but given how the
NomCom is presently structured (turnover of representatives by
design) it has to be hard to build up institutional knowledge. I
think the onus is on us to be communicating to the NomCom every
year what we'd like to see in their slate of candidates. Those
attributes are another conversation altogether, and broadly I
agree with you that they are transparent communication,
openness, commitment, passion, and strong community ties.
However, I would also suggest the addition of "integrity" and
"good judgement".<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wonder if this might be something we should discuss with
our colleagues in the CSG at the Intersessional [and also
amongst ourselves]?<br>
