[At-Large] The kiss of death

[Roberto Gaetano]

It has to be seen in conjunction with the review of the composition of the
Board.
In essence, we need to keep a global balance. If, for instance, ALAC would
elect direct representatives to the Board, like the SOs, a reduction of the
presence in NomCom would be reasonable. I am just making an example here,
not taking any commitment to what the Board will decide, all what I am
saying is that we can't see all the different bodies in isolation. To make
another example, it is also reasonable that if ALAC takes direct engagement
in the GNSO (which is a radically different thing than having individual
ALSes participating in ALAC and in a Stakeholder Group) a reduction of its
"power" as AC could be in order. This is related to the total number of
representatives in the NomCom, and ultimately in the way that Directors are
elected.
The matter is complex. For this reason the BGC has recommended to establish
a separate committee, and the Board has deliberated in this sense in Cairo.
Cheers,
Roberto
