[bc-gnso] Toronto Agenda for BC members call.

[Fares, David]

Ayesha,

As an ICC member I understand your constraints in not being able to offer a position for your organization.  I also want to thank you for your transparency.  Your professionalism in highlighting your personal conflict publicly and recusing yourself from a debate regarding the Nomcomm selection process is much appreciated and an important reminder to all of us that we need to avoid any conflicts in our activities within the BC.  Public disclosure of such conflicts ensures the credibility of our processes and the BC itself.

David

I have been contacted by some of my members (ICC) that are also BC members regarding this matter.   I recognize that this is a very important procedural matter that could have a profound impact on the BC's representation within the GNSO, Board and other positions' selection processes. I feel that without a more formal decision from my broader membership (ICC membership) I cannot weigh in formally on this matter.  With this in mind, I feel that I should recuse myself from offering any personal thoughts on this matter also given that my partner is on the ICANN Board and I would like to avoid any appearance of conflict for myself and to avoid any possible negative implications for the BC itself.

Kind regards,
Ayesha

Colleagues,

I would like to reiterate the proposal that I made on the BC call yesterday regarding the procedure for selecting our NomComm representatives.  First however, I would like to make clear that NewsCorp is in no way questioning the integrity and competence of the candidates for the NomComm, all three would be excellent representatives.

While the Bylaws appear to delegate to the Excomm a decision as to whether NomComm representatives should be appointed by the Excomm or elected by the constituency members, I would recommend that the BC, by default, adopt elections to ensure transparency and that all members' voices are heard.  I would also recommend that we amend the Bylaws to require elections for BC Nomcomm representatives.

Thanks,
David

Agree.  Would like to know who was the third nominee and why ExComm took it upon itself to make this decision without input from Members.

Thanks,
Mike
