Yes, it was a conditional statement that:

If we feel that the GNSO needs better representation on the Board
then stacking Nomcom is not the best way to do it, getting extra elected
seats is a more appropriate path.

I am happy to see the business community seats on nomcom reduced and do
not think we should be fighting for them to retain their extra seats
especially since NPOC has been denied its seat for several years now
because it would make the nomcom bigger.  I still think it ironic that
the board forced NCSG, in a top down manner, to create a new
constituency and then refused to give them seats on the nomcom.

I am not, however, arguing that the GNSO should have more seats, at
least not at this point as I am not sure what I would gain.

I do agree that the nomcom issues is a good one, but will the right
people be there? I.e it is a Board issue, will the relavant Board
people, e.g. George, be there?  Otherwise, what is our purpose in the
dicussion?
