> It has come to the NCSG's attention that NPOC, one of our Stakeholder Group constituencies, still has not been given a seat on ICANN's Nominating Committee.  While we understand that a corporation bylaws change is required for this, we would have expected the Board to have taken care of this within a year of having created a mechanism for the creation of new constituencies and having approved the creation of NPOC.  It has been much longer and we understand that NPOC has tried to get this taken care of.
> 
> We also understand that if there is no time for the Board to do so in time for this year's Nominating Committee, please get this done before next year's Nominating Committee.
> 
> We are currently faced with a NomCom where NPOC is not represented and noncommercial users are under-represented.  We understand that the Board has the ability to appoint an academic representative to the NomCom.  We urgently request that the Board immediately appoint that academic representative from the NPOC.
> 
> This urgent request has been endorsed by the NCSG Executive and Policy Committees.
> 
> Signed,
> Robin Gross
> NCSG Chair
