    <p>HI Tomslin,</p>
    <p>I accepted some of the changes but could not accept Rafik's as he
      is not understanding how the NomCom Operates and what they are
      recommending.  I have added in replies to his comments to explain
      them and hope this helps</p>
    <p>Here again is the link. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WJbnMKrjFY-MSlziTej_iV4fUVD1VoB-hyQ_OJu55Dg/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">

    <p>Once Rafik has read this and accepted it, I can resolve all the
      comments and submit it.  Do let me know what is the process. I
      believe we will have a one-day extension since tomorrow is a
      holiday in the US and ICANN usually does not have comments due on
      the holiday as US staff are off. <br>

                                      <p>HI All,</p>
                                      <p>Good talk on today's NCSG Call.
                                        Caleb, thanks for clarifying
                                        that Stephanie and you are only
                                        collaborating on the NomCom
                                        Rebalancing letter that Interim
                                        CEO Sally Costerton sent to all
                                        constituencies.  I suggested
                                        that we draft a statement in
                                        response to the public comment
                                        on the NomCom Review, and will
                                        be happy to be the Pen Holder.
                                        Basically, there are 4 questions
                                        they are asking us to comment
                                        upon.  Public Comments are due
                                        May 29, 2023. I have also cc'd
                                        my fellow NomCom rep, Peter
                                        Taiwo as he also suggested he
                                        was interested in helping draft.
                                        <br>
                                      </p>
                                      <p>1) Our Input on the Fundamental
                                        Bylaws amendment proposed for
                                        Article 7 of the ICANN Bylaws
                                        and the related proposed
                                        statement defining
                                        “Unaffiliated” Directors?</p>
                                      <p>2) Our Input on the proposed
                                        Standard Bylaws amendments
                                        proposed to Article 8 of the
                                        ICANN Bylaws as well as the
                                        Transition Clause<br>
                                      </p>
                                      <p>    Change NomCom delegates’
                                        terms to serve two-year terms,
                                        instead of one year.<br>
                                            Transform all NomCom
                                        delegates into voting delegates
                                        to be able to vote, except for
                                        leadership.<br>
                                            Create a NomCom Standing
                                        Committee to provide continuity
                                        across annual NomCom cycles and
                                        to build the institutional
                                        memory of the NomCom.<br>
                                      </p>
                                      <p> 3) Our Input on the NomCom
                                        Standing Committee Charter?  <br>
                                      </p>
                                      <p>4) Our input on the required
                                        changes to their RSSAC bylaws to
                                        allow them to accept a voting
                                        slot instead of the current
                                        non-voting slot</p>
                                      <p>Here is a PowerPoint slide
                                        describing these changes.  Only
                                        contentious issue is the
                                        definition of unaffiliated
                                        Directors <br>

                                        <blockquote type="cite">Hi Julf,
                                          <br>
                                          Apparently it is too late for
                                          this, which is really sad. I
                                          was told the time to have done
                                          this negotiation was several
                                          months ago before the GNSO
                                          rejected these ideas.  Sorry
                                          but I had not been focusing on
                                          these issues 6 months ago. 
                                          The suggestion that was in the
                                          original public comment was
                                          what the review committee had
                                          suggested so that the GNSO
                                          could decide for itself but
                                          apparently according to CLO,
                                          groups within the GNSO heavily
                                          resisted this change and that
                                          was why the board/ review
                                          committee took back part of
                                          the review. .  ALAC was for it
                                          and wanted to see this
                                          rebalancing but the review
                                          committee and Board got too
                                          much flack from people within
                                          the GNSO so they had to pull
                                          even this simple adjustment. <br>
                                          <br>
                                          Our best shot is the letter to
                                          sally however, even with the
                                          letter it is unlikely to
                                          happen again until 5 years.
                                          Maybe the NCSG can take back
                                          the slot from the NCUC as the
                                          only reason it was not given
                                          to the NCSG was because NPOC
                                          and the NCSG had not existed
                                          when these slots were first
                                          created. <br>
                                          <br>
                                          I have not heard from
                                          Stephanie about the comments
                                          on the NomCom Review.   Has
                                          one been created.  If not, I
                                          can pass you forward the one
                                          myself and Yrjo are writing
                                          for ALAC. The only contested
                                          issue not decided is the
                                          definition of unaffiliated and
                                          what that means and entail.
                                          Otherwise, What I have written
                                          have been accepted by the
                                          ALAC. <br>
