[NA-Discuss] Position on the NomCom representing the NA region

[Danny Younger]

Last year the NARALO managed to select a candidate that hailed from the registrar constituency so obviously we are wondering if this year you will be in similar fashion selecting as a user representative Chuck Gomes from VeriSign :)
