                        <p>The fault is not Caleb's it is mine.  I have
                          been working on that draft.  Judith
                          Hellerstein was kind enough to draft the
                          response to the call for comments, and I had
                          intended to circulate the draft for comments
                          this past weekend.  Unfortunately a health
                          emergency in my family has dragged me away. 
                          There was quite a bit of discussion around the
                          meeting in Washington on this topic, and it
                          also had come up at Council.  Council is just
                          now preparing its draft response to the
                          Board.  We have till the 30th and Julf is
                          standing by to send the final draft, so please
                          lets not panic.<br>
                        </p>
                        <p>There is strong opposition to growing the
                          Nomcom, as it grows it becomes more unwieldy,
                          and they are already working very hard. So I
                          would submit that asking for three delegates,
                          just like the commercial group, is a
                          non-starter.  However, the battle to get a
                          seat for NPOC, at least at the GNSO level,
                          appears to be turning in our favour.  Please
                          see my comments re the questions below, and
                          expect to see a tidied up draft comment
                          shortly.</p>

                        <p>SP <i>Given that the NomCom reps are
                            supposed to act independently of their
                            organizations, I would avoid saying that we
                            are directly affected.  Obviously we would
                            have had another seat years ago if everyone
                            in this organization had faith in that
                            independence, and the GAC might have
                            surrendered the seat they have never
                            used.....but we have to have a strong belief
                            in the independence and fair HR practices of
                            the new NomCom that will emerge after this
                            review.  We are the ones who are short a
                            seat, so clearly it has been on our
                            priorities and it will remain there until
                            this fundamental injustice is corrected.  To
                            my mind, we lack qualitative review of the
                            actual outputs of the NomCom, and we lack a
                            substantive study of what the goals of a
                            restructured nomcom might be.  ICANN is 25,
                            and there are plenty of folks around who
                            have been here all that time.  What does it
                            mean to get new blood to join ICANN from
                            outside the membership groups?  What does
                            the MS model need after 25 years?  How did
                            the review committee discuss this issue? 
                            are there studies?</i></p>
