Dear Nick, dear all,<br>
<br>
I agree with Jeanette and would like to add, that Veronica applied
already in January and the ALAC, who discussed proposing Veronica as
one of the candidates to the ICANN Board did not get a hint that there
would be any restriction concerning non-ALS members. <br>
<br>
Anyhow, Veronica could join any time the network new media (an
accredited european ALS) if not being an ALS member would be a serious
problem, though I do not think it is. <br>
<br>
Instead of creating bureaucracy we should be practical: it is the same
situation as with the EURALO board - if the EURALO selects a person,
this person means something to the EURALO members and this is what
counts. It is enough that an ALS nominates a candidate, this candidate
should not be forced to join an ALS for formal reasons (this procedure
might raise the number of members of the nnm, which I very much
appreciate ;-) but it is absolutely not neccessary). As far as I know,
the NomCom is not restricted to select a person who is a member of an
ALS, the EURALO should not be so either.<br>
<br>
Best greetings<br>
<br>
Annette<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
no matter what bylaws and MoU say, I support a broad interpretation of
diversity including gender, geo-political culture and political
perspectives. If we have the opportunity to cover several dimensions of
diversity, why would we not do this?
Regarding experience with ICANN, if experience would principally count
more than diversity, old hands would always prevail and newcomers never
had a chance. Moreover, ALAC like the ICANN board can and should combine
a mixture of experienced and new members.

<pre wrap="">I was arguing from an overall political perspective. I was *not*
talking about the MOU, so your response is a distraction. (Which I
find disappointing.)
