Before everyone starts persuading themselves that the NomCom isn't all that<br>
bad, please consider:<br>
<br>
* The criteria for selection are secret<br>
<br>
* The meetings are secret<br>
<br>
* The NomCom views public disclosure of any candidates names, even by the<br>
candidates themselves, as a bad thing<br>
<br>
* A former chair-elect resigned because he was "sickened" by how it worked<br>
(lobbying, abuse of travel support, insider culture, refusal to listen to<br>
formal advice)<br>
<br>
* It was set up to replace direct elections and is an active impediment to<br>
discussions about how real elections might actually work<br>
<br>
* It has been repeatedly criticized for poor working methods and failure to<br>
communicate with candidates<br>
<br>
* It is entirely self-contained. NomCom members often fail to turn up to<br>
meetings but it is not reported back; NomCom members are not required to<br>
explain their decisions.<br>
<br>
* It gets the same number of people applying each year - 80-90 - and each<br>
year says that is a great number with no explanation or analysis<br>
<br>
* It measures its own success. And agrees each year that it has done a<br>
terrific job<br>
<br>
<br>
The fact that the NomCom exists at all is a sign that ICANN has not matured<br>
to the point where it can do what thousands of other organizations achieve<br>
every year: open elections with selections made by the whole community<br>
rather than a secretive subset of community members who lobby extremely<br>
hard to be selected.<br>
<br>
