<div dir="ltr">Thanks for this, Julf. <div><br></div><div>I asked to add comments to the reply but the document is closed for comments.

The question is "Do you believe there would be any objections from your<br>
groups, and potentially delegates that you have already identified, to<br>
proceeding with a simple path forward in which we randomly select three<br>
of seven GNSO delegates to serve one-year terms?"<br>
<br>
We do find that the recommendations and internally inconsistent and<br>
should not have been approved. On one hand the recommendations<br>
call for staggered terms in order to provide continuity and to<br>
avoid an "all new faces" situation, but then on the other hand<br>
force all representatives to be new appointees (with reappointing<br>
existing representatives specifically not allowed) at the beginning<br>
of the new term structure.<br>
<br>
We also note that the random selection of lengths of initial<br>
terms might be appropriate for an AC like ALAC as they don't<br>
have multiple constituencies with diverging interests and<br>
uneven representation. We don't think it is appropriate<br>
for the GNSO.<br>
<br>
In addition to the issue about initial terms, we also want<br>
to once again note another reason the recommendations should<br>
not have been approved. In the draft recommendations there<br>
was almost to the end a recommendation for a NomCom rebalancing.<br>
It is our understanding that that recommendation was removed<br>
at the last moment, based on a vote taken at one single meeting<br>
where none of our constituencies were represented. We don't<br>
feel that is how consensus policy should be decided.<br>
