Re:  "appointing to the Nomcom a key employee of one
of the biggest registrars"

It looks like the ALAC has also seen fit to appoint to
the Noncom a key employee of one the biggest
registries -- Afilias.  

The last time that I checked, Desiree Miloshevic
served as the International Affairs and Policy Advisor
for Afilias, the registry operator for .info as well
as being a back-end provider for other registries.  

Has her employment status changed?  

Did these candidates provide Statements of Interest
that revealed their employment history?  

and why exactly is the ALAC electing supplier-side
representatives to the NonCom?  Out of the billions of
users out there, couldn't they find a sufficient
number of suitable "user" candidates?  The issue is
bigger than possible malfeasance in an election
process; it makes me wonder if "popularity contests"
have replaced suitable due diligence in what should
have been a very serious process.
