<div>This looks like an excellent idea and solution to me. Provides real accountability without risk of upsetting the balance of things.</div>

<div>The only thing I'd be concerned about is writing the Nominating Committee into the next iteration of ICANN.</div>

<div>The Nomcom was a fudge to deal with concerns over directly elected board members. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Over the years it has grown more and more anachronistic. Most recently it's own chair elect railed against how corrupt it had gotten. </div>

<div>I would love to see us pull out the Nomcom while there is the opportunity to clean house.</div>

<br>> FYI, ARIN has had an opportunity to take a looks at ICANN's Bylaws with legal feedback from its lawyers, which may be of an interest for legal subteam.
<br>> This is just sharing it for your reference, simply some legal research work that ARIN sought & which may be useful for the CCWG's groups reference and not a recommendation.
