nominations for Nomcom rep are open

[Stephanie Perrin]

  No, this is a long and painful story, as so many are in civil 
society.  I believe we had to fight pretty hard to get one NCUC seat 
(NPOC did not exist, ALAC got 5) and Avri and others have been pushing 
for an NPOC seat (actually we would like three, one for NCSG also, you 
may recall I pushed at GNSO recently for three seats on the SCC, the 
principle needs to be fought for consistently). I will leave it to those 
who fought this battle to explain the history, but civil society is 
totally underrepresented on Nomcom because of course many ALAC reps are 
actually in business.

cheers Stephanie
