Members may be aware that the issue of seats on the Nomcom has arisen in 
the context of the NOMCOM review.  We have been pushing for years to get 
an additional seat (one for each constituency). As you can see from the 
thread below, there are quite a few of our colleagues who feel that 
status quo on NOMCOM is fine.

For those wishing to do the research on what is going on with the NOMCOM 
review, the wiki is here 
https://community.icann.org/display/OR/Review+Phase.  Bruna attended the 
meeting referenced in the thread below, and I am pushing for another 
meeting.  Our position of course will be one of fundamental fairness for 
the two sides of the Non-contracted party house.  We have a number of 
members who have served on the Nomcom in the past, it would be great to 
hear what they have to say about the proposed options, particularly 
Option 2.

Thanks all and Donna in particular,

The ISPCP is still discussing the options. I think I’ll be back with a 
common view soon (I also understood Tom and Cheryl that some more time 
is available).

My personal view is to keep the status quo for the moment. The suggested 
method to select the GNSO reps would create an enormous effort of work 
and discussions within the GNSO which is not justified by the expected 
outcome. There’s nothing more to fill than the existing number of slots. 
And I doubt we’ll agree on a procedure before having performed a rather 
holistic review.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

Thanks Donna, Heather, Mary, and all,

The BC has not formally replied to the NomCom RIWG yet, but shares many 
of the concerns articulated by the IPC and would prefer Option 1 (status 
quo).

In the interim, we have gathered some historical background explaining 
why the BC was allocated small- and large-business seats on the NomCom 
back in the early 2000 period and why we feel this allocation continues 
to be appropriate. We would welcome an opportunity share this via a 
brief follow-up teleconference if others are amenable.

Thanks, and let us know what the next steps will be.

Best regards,

Barbara

Thanks Heather

I understood from Tom and Cheryl that we had more time to work this 
through, but I appreciate that it wasn’t clear what our next steps might 
be whether they be collective or individual.

It’s good to have the IPC position as it would be good to understand if 
others have also submitted a reply to the RIWG.

    Thanks very much, Donna, for the initiative.

    I'm happy to share below what the IPC provided to the NomCom RIWG
    after our call on the 22nd. I'm mindful that we were instructed to
    reply by 31 July (today), which is why I sent out my response at the
    beginning of the week after it had been confirmed by the IPC
    membership.

    I will raise the four suggested options with the IPC leadership
    before offering any sort of firm response, but I would personally
    gauge the IPC's input on the matter so far as to align with Option 1
    (status quo) unless we have this deeper, community-wide assessment
    recommended by the Independent Reviewers.

    Best wishes to you and all,

    Dear Tom and RIWG colleagues,

    Thank you for the call of 22 July and this opportunity to provide
    the IPC's input into the Bylaws change that is proposed in relation
    to the redistribution of GNSO NomCom seats. We particularly
    appreciate the opportunity to ask questions through the SG/C
    leaders' call on the 22nd as to the background and context of the
    proposal. We have reflected carefully in reviewing the proposed
    redline draft.

    *The IPC wishes to advise that we do not support the proposed Bylaws
    amendment.**The IPC wishes also to advise that we do not support the
    NomCom RIWG imposing a solution of its choosing on the GNSO. *

    We are sure that you can appreciate the sensitivities that surround
    any proposal to change the NomCom seats to reflect the GNSO Council
    structure. The GNSO Council has, as was highlighted in the call on
    22 July, a precisely identified, narrow remit as manager of the
    policy development process. The IPC has long held and expressed the
    position that the GNSO Council structure itself does "not accurately
    represent constituencies", as the Independent Review Final Report
    urges the NomCom structure to do
    (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/nomcom-review-final-05jun18-en.pdf
    <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/nomcom-review-final-05jun18-en.pdf__;!!N14HnBHF!o23tKdijKNtJPHSXdtn7niwSmepj_X6FG2sUqkTE5e9395FgfoGL4xpsIoeB5Wa_3uFi$> at
    p 25). The GNSO is certainly evolving, but this goes well beyond
    simply the addition of the NPOC structure (notably the only example
    raised in our call of the 22nd). The New gTLD Program of 2012 has
    fundamentally broken down the previously clear, bright lines between
    contracted and non-contracted party. Many IPC members are also
    represented in other GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
    Constituencies. Members of the GNSO’s SGs and Cs also participate in
    other ICANN structures, including in particular the At-Large, as
    well as the ccNSO and SSAC.  It is unnecessary and inappropriate to
    mirror this complicated and ineffectual state of affairs in
    designating NomCom seats. Further, the present structural
    deficiencies will inevitably frustrate any effort to set up some
    sort of new committee or mechanism within the GNSO for deciding on
    who fills these seats on a rolling basis each year.

    While we appreciate the suggestion that another way of approaching
    this could be for the GNSO SG/Cs themselves to propose a solution,
    the IPC questions whether we (or indeed the RIWG) have sufficient
    information to make informed decisions. We believe that neither we
    nor the RIWG should be rushing to change such an important process
    to ICANN's accountability without clear, documented justification.
    To that end we note that, in making Recommendation 10
    ("Representation on the NomCom should be re-balanced immediately and
    then be reviewed every five years."), the Independent Reviewers
    advised: "A recommendation on a precise way to rebalance the NomCom
    would require a comprehensive assessment of representation within
    the ICANN community, including a full understanding of the history
    and possible future of representation within the SOs/ACs." While we
    appreciate that Rec 10 is a Board-approved recommendation, we agree
    with the Independent Reviewers as to the necessity of this
    comprehensive assessment, and consider that this should take into
    account the impact of new gTLDs on _all ICANN structures_, not
    simply the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies of the GNSO. While
    the upcoming GNSO Review could offer an opportunity for such a
    "comprehensive assessment of representation" within the GNSO
    structure, this should only be part of a broader exercise of the
    advised "comprehensive assessment of representation within the ICANN
    community".

    We will be pleased to engage further with the RIWG's processes and
    provide further input as is helpful.

    Sincerely yours,
    Heather Forrest, IPC President

        **Removing ICANN Staff from this thread**

        Hi All

        It seems that we have a collective decision to make on this
        issue and I’ve provided some suggestions below for consideration.

        I’m still not convinced that the proposed solution is really
        addressing Recommendation 10, and on reading the recommendation
        in full (provided below) it seems that the intent of the
        rebalancing is really not being addressed by the solution
        proposed by the NomCom RIWG. However, I do recall that Tom and
        Cheryl did say that they had explored a number of options and
        this is their recommended solution.

        Based on the call last week expanding the number of NomCom
        members is not possible so the maximum number of seats available
        to the GNSO is seven. It also seems that the reason the GNSO
        representation has been called out is related to the BC having
        two representatives on the NomCom and the NPOC not being
        represented.

        Barbara, I believe you expressed the view that the BC wants to
        maintain two representatives and we were waiting on a response
        to Ashley’s question about the rationale for the original
        decision to have two BC representatives.

        I believe we have four options:

        1.Reject the proposed change to the bylaws in favour of the
        status quo. This would require agreement from all GNSO SGs/Cs.

        2.Agree to the proposed change to the bylaws that removes the
        prescriptive representation and develop our own selection
        process. This selection process could be the same that we
        undertake now in selecting our respective candidates and
        providing these to the NomCom. The process could be added to the
        GNSO Operating Procedures (I say this not knowing what the
        process would be, but this makes the most sense). However, we
        would need to agree on the allocation of the seven slots—the
        most pragmatic solution would be to allocate a representative
        from each SG/C of the GNSO.

        3.Suggest a modification to the bylaws as currently stated to
        include 1 representative from the NPOC and reduce the BC
        representation from 2 to 1. We could also consider adding that
        in the event the composition of the GNSO changes that
        representation will be reconsidered (or words to that effect).

        4.Submit individual responses to the NomCom RIWG proposal and
        let them decide how to move forward, which would likely leave us
        with Option 2.

        Look forward to your thoughts.

        Donna

        *Recommendation 10: Representation on the NomCom should be
        re-balanced immediately and then be reviewed every five years. *

        Periodically reviewing and re-balancing the NomCom makeup
        ensures that it appropriately reflects the ICANN community, both
        from a historic and prospective vantage point. A recommendation
        on a precise way to rebalance the NomCom would require a
        comprehensive assessment of representation within the ICANN
        community, including a full understanding of the history and
        possible future of representation within the SOs/ACs. It will
        also require input from the Board and the formation of a
        cross-constituency working group which includes representation
        from emerging communities or groups within the ICANN community.
        During our assessment, we heard from a large number of
        individuals who suggested the NomCom was unbalanced, both across
        organizations and within organizations (i.e., across
        constituencies within an SO/AC). Not surprisingly, the opinions
        we heard varied widely and were often inconsistent with each
        other. For example, some people indicated that one SO/AC was
        overrepresented in terms of the number of delegates sent to the
        NomCom from that SO/AC, while others thought such representation
        was needed given the relatively greater diversity of viewpoints
        held by constituencies within that SO/AC compared to other SOs/ACs.

        Ultimately, any rebalancing of the NomCom will require a
        detailed assessment of all ICANN stakeholder groups. ICANN
        should therefore convene a working group immediately, and every
        five years thereafter, to study how best to rebalance the NomCom
        based on input from each of the organizations with
        representation on the NomCom and the broader ICANN community.
        Our recommendation of five year intervals is based on ICANN’s
        typical review requirements for organizations, as well as our
        experience with other similar, volunteer-based organizations.

        leaders (22 July 2020)

        Dear GNSO community leaders,

        We write to follow up on the call that you did with Tom Barrett,
        Cheryl Langdon Orr and Zahid Jamil (chairs of the NomCom Review
        Implementation Working Group) last week. We understand that many
        groups are continuing to discuss the topic and may wish to
        communicate individually with the NomCom RIWG. As members of the
        Policy Team that supports your governance work, however, we
        thought we should ask if you would like us to convene a call for
        you as GNSO community group leaders.

        We ask also because the NomCom RIWG may be expecting a response
        from the GNSO community about their proposal to amend the
        Bylaws. In addition, it may be helpful to see if there are
        alternative options that you can suggest to the RIWG for their
        consideration.

        Please let us know if you would like us to schedule a call for
        you. We will also be grateful if you can respond to Chantelle’s
        query (below) about posting the materials from the call with
        Tom, Cheryl and Zahid to the RIWG’s public mailing list. Thank you!

        14:15:04 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : GNSO of course still has the
        largest influence as such with its 7 seats

        14:15:34 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : next is 5 with ALAC Regional
        interests

        14:15:54 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr :  then the rest is no more than 2

        14:15:59 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : mostly 1

        14:17:45 From Wolf-Ulrich Knoben : What is the rationale for
        keeping the NCA number limited by 19?

        14:18:45 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : it is an approved
        recommendation of the Independent Examiner @Wolf-Urlich

        14:19:01 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : we mearly Implement those
        Board approved recommendations

        14:19:07 From Wolf-Ulrich Knoben : Thanks Cheryl

        14:19:12 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : NP

        14:19:29 From Heather Forrest : Further to Donna's point we do
        not have a mechanism for doing this selection, and this is not
        within scope of the GNSO Council (which is tasked with managing
        the policy development process)

        14:19:32 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : That was the Ind Examiners
        observation

        14:19:50 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : perfect solution @Donna

        14:20:11 From Wolf-Ulrich Knoben : @Donna +1

        14:20:27 From Mary Wong : @Heather, the distinction with the
        Council’s remit is why the request was addressed to the SG & C
        chairs, with Keith (as GNSO Chair) cc’d for information.

        14:20:45 From Heather Forrest : Very much appreciated, Mary

        14:28:19 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : This was not a negotiation 
        we want your feedback however specifically on the proposed bylaw
        language

        14:28:45 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : I was assuring you we have
        explored as many possabilities as we can

        14:28:55 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr :  this  leaves the GNSO seat #
        as is

        14:29:03 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : the most palatable we felt

        14:29:20 From Heather Forrest : Is there a documented concern
        from GNSO (not from an outside consultant) that the GNSO wants
        control? Or that the GNSO SG/Cs themselves feel the need for change?

        14:30:38 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : I believe the Ind Examiners
        report was acting based specifically on concerns or complaints 
        from part(s) of the GNSO

        14:31:05 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : that documentation can
        perhaps be sorced from MSSI

        14:31:25 From Heather Forrest : @Cheryl - sorry to push, but
        bylaws amendment means we need to be more than just "I believe"
        - such a major decision requires evidence-based decision making

        14:31:41 From Heather Forrest : I think we need to chase the
        documentation down

        14:32:19 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : ALSO  note there will be
        other bylaw changes required as a result of our required
        Implementation of these 27 Recs,  so *IF* the Rec 10 results in
        a Bylaws change it can go woth that set

        14:32:23 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : with

        14:33:12 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Correct @Kieth

        14:34:27 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : It could rotate all its seats
        or any combination therein year by year if you so wish

        14:34:52 From Mary Wong : @Heather, Policy staff will consult
        with our MSSI colleagues regarding the documentation you requested.

        14:35:05 From Barbara Wanner : Thanks Keith -- great point about
        political sensitivities in light of all that we must address now
        from a policy standpoint.

        14:35:10 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : weunderstand the friction
        point issue but US implementing a change from the outside may
        have an effect as well (I strongly suspect)

        14:35:31 From Jean-Baptiste Deroulez : As a follow-up to
        Cheryl’s comment above, here is the link to the independent
        examiner final report on rec. 10:

        , see p25-26.

        14:35:45 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Thanks @JPD

        14:36:20 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : JBD

        14:37:11 From Heather Forrest : Thanks very much, Jean-Baptiste.
        Is there "a comprehensive

        assessment of representation within the ICANN community,
        including a full understanding of the

        history and possible future of representation within the
        SOs/ACs" as per that recommendation 10 p 25?

        14:37:22 From Heather Forrest : Great question, Donna, thank you

        14:40:49 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : That COuld occur at a future
        holistic ICANN wide review point I suspect @Heather

        14:41:07 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : we are trapped between hstory
        and change

        14:42:19 From Heather Forrest : My fault, Tom, for not being
        more specific - sorry

        14:43:13 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : and some of their earlier
        presentations might also give background as well, again MSSI
        have the links to hand I suspect

        14:43:54 From Heather Forrest : +1 Donna - likewise - very much
        appreciate the additional information

        14:43:59 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : Thanks everyone we really
        appreciate al your time as well.

        14:44:24 From Barbara Wanner : Appreciate the time you gave us
        to think this through further!

        14:44:29 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : We understand @Donna

        14:44:55 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr : We thought not @Donna

        14:46:07 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr :  Bye for now

        14:46:07 From Barbara Wanner : @ Heather agree and thank you!

        14:46:09 From Donna Austin, Neustar : Thanks all
