But my first question is to Alan. Your statement includes the comment that some of the appointees by the NomCom have been a disappointment. My question is how - not putting in the hours, not being able to contribute to policy discussions, not representing their regional areas???? And maybe also look at who do you (and others) consider as a success story - and why. Then come up with a list of essentials: knowledge of the DNS, ability to work in the English language, ability to put in the time - whatever. And we also need to recognise that our strength comes from the fact that, amongst our team, we have people with different skill sets - a strength, not a weakness. </div><div><br></div><div>The current criteria in the document includes a lot of qualities/skills. We should be asking ourselves which are the most important - to guide in selecting the three people? Looking at the listed criteria below, I think we are looking for someone with knowledge/experience in</div><div><ul><li>DNS/ICANN</li><li>involvement in policy</li><li>consumer/public interest advocacy</li><li>leadership/governance</li><li>knowledge/experience in local/regional issues</li></ul><div>And critically:</div></div><div><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">a willingness to serve as a volunteer, without compensation other than the reimbursement of certain expenses<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">an ability to work and communicate effectively in English (although there is no requirement that English be the candidate's first language)</span></li></ul><div>Just my two cents - but whatever the small group decides - it will be really helpful to any selection committee to be very clear about what are the really important skills/experience/ability being sought (and the current list doesn’t do that)</div></div><div><br></div><div>Holly</div><div>
