Suggested amendments to ICANN's bylaws and NomCom

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Hello, all,

I agree with Tomslin that before approaching CSG we need a proper
contribution/submission to this PC.

On that note, I just took a quick look at the guiding question and was a
little bit unsure about this Public comment discussing anything related to
the Nominating Committee composition - to me they seem to be way more
procedural than anything else. But maybe I missed something during my quick
look and/or the point about the composition can be addressed on the
question about the charter.

In any case, Im pasting the guiding questions below:

*The following questions are designed to aid in the drafting of submissions
to this Public Comment proceeding. Please provide input on the proposed
amendments to the ICANN Bylaws, the proposed NomCom Standing Committee
Charter, and the proposed statement defining “Unaffiliated” Directors:*

   1. *Do you have input on the Fundamental Bylaws amendment
   <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-bylaws-amendments-10apr23-en.pdf>
proposed
   for Article 7 of the ICANN Bylaws and the related proposed statement
   defining “Unaffiliated” Directors?*
   2. *Do you have input on the proposed Standard Bylaws amendments
   <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-bylaws-amendments-10apr23-en.pdf>
proposed
   to Article 8 of the ICANN Bylaws as well as the Transition Clause proposed
   for Article 27? These would:*
      1. *Change NomCom delegates’ terms to serve two-year terms, instead
      of one year.*
      2. *Transform all NomCom delegates into voting delegates to be able
      to vote, except for leadership.*
      3. *Create a NomCom Standing Committee to provide continuity across
      annual NomCom cycles and to build the institutional memory of the NomCom.*
   3. *Do you have input on the NomCom Standing Committee Charter
   <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-nomcom-standing-committee-charter-10apr23-en.pdf>?*
   4. *Do you have input on the requested changes to Article 12
   <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-bylaws-amendments-10apr23-en.pdf>
related
   to the RSSAC?*

Best,
Bruna
