13 January 2018 letter from NomCom to ICANN Board

[Ayden Férdeline]

[This letter](https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/jami-et-al-to-chalaby-marby-13jan18-en.pdf), from the leadership of the (independent) Nominating Committee, is worth reading:

"...we were presented with a fait accompli this year when in regards the Recruitment Firm it was only after staff had contracted the older (less satisfactory firm) that were we informed that there were no funds for a new/alternative firm. Similarly, the budget for 2018 was submitted by NOMCOM staff unilaterally without any consultation with either the Chair or Chair Elect. If we are to have the responsibility of delivering our product satisfactorily, then we must also have the authority to be able to allocate or reallocate our resources in a manner consistent with undertaking our work in the best possible way."
