[NCSG-FC] Fw: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Call for NCUC Appointee to the Finance Committee - Open until August 3rd

[Sam Lanfranco]

Bruna,

I appreciate your suggestion that conversations of substance should not 
run ahead of processes. None of that has happened here. We are trying to 
clear up some misunderstanding of the current situation.

In reponse to your request for "a little bit about experiences at the 
FC", my comments will be short since I am not a candidate. They are 
intended to give one a sense of what working with me is like.

/I worked with Ed Morris (now left NCSG) in the resuscitation of the 
then moribund Financial Committee several years ago. It had done 
little/nothing for a long time. We looked at the 2011 Charter where its 
terms-of-reference are way out of date since they had assumed that NCSG 
would have income from dues and other sources. It does not. I had to 
pull back from ICANN involvement for the past couple of years while I 
dealt with personal issues (collapse of late-in-life mistaken second 
marriage. I am explicit on this since I want to rule out worries that it 
was work or health related) but I am back. With other hats I am also the 
treasurer of a modest organization that does have revenues and 
expenditures.  As a board member elsewheree, serving as Chairs and 
Presidents, I know both due process and the issues that can emerge. I am 
good at mediating disputes in the search for consensus.
/

/Sam L, NPOC/
