[ALAC] NomCom selection of ALAC Members

[Alan Greenberg]

In short, if you look back at the list of NomCom 
appointees, you will find quite a few who did 
very little during their two years but come to 
meetings. Little contribution, little involvement 
in any of our activities, etc.

If you look at the history of those appointed by 
the NomCom more than once, you find very few 
people. Some went on to other things in ICANN. 
Others either chose not to continue, or reapplied and were not selected.

So the challenge is to try to attract people who 
can be recognized by the NomCom as people who will become involved.
