No solution offered on diversity, independence, bias and bloc voting. But a few good points on institutional memory, consistent criteria of evaluation, SSAC/RSAC voting, formalizing comms with SOACs. In general, not responsive to recent shenanigans but no surprise there.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 28, 2018, at 01:48, Rafik Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@GMAIL.COM" class="">rafik.dammak@GMAIL.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi all,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We have a new public comment regarding the draft final report of nomcom review <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/nomcom2-review-2018-03-27-en" class="">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/nomcom2-review-2018-03-27-en</a>.
