<div>I strongly believe that now is the time to pull out the Nomcom from ICANN. It is an anachronism that was created to deal with an issue in a previous incarnation.</div>

Hi,<br><br>
I am confused as to how this works. Please forgive my questions.
This has less to do with the proposal I made then with trying to
understand the nature of a UA. I had not realized until yesterday
that the membership model was as popular as it has been defined to
be. I had also not realized that we were down to membership or
designator model as our only choices until today.<br><br>
What qualifies the Nomcom as an association? It can't be the
people, as there is no continuity, except among the staff. and some
overlap in chairs as last year's chair, this years' chair and next
year's possible chair, sit togehter each year. I guess that is a
bit of natural person continuity. Is that chair thread significant?
<br><br>
Or is that it is always formed according to same bylaw, even if all
of the people are different, that is a qualifying mark? Is being a
differnt instantiation of the same process sufficient to define a
UA, even if there is no continuity of natural persons?<br><br><br>
thanks<br><br><br>

Note: I would have sent this to the legal list, but i never managed
to get subscribed that one as far as I can tell. <br><br><br><hr style="border:none; color:#909090; background-color:#B0B0B0; height: 1px; width: 99%;"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;border:none;"><tr><td style="border:none;padding:0px 15px 0px 8px">
