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

Tue Oct 9 12:55:25 UTC 2012

Taking-up Zahid's example, I too have no conflict of interest in selecting BC appointees to the Nominating Committee.   I will neither seek nor accept a nomination in the upcoming NomCom round.

Dear Ayesha and David,

I agree that we in the BC should maintain the highest standard of both transparency and accountability and avoid both actual and perceived conflicts of interest.

As a member of the Excom which 'selected' (and did not elect) Nomcom appointees it would be appropriate and proper (due to the selection) for me to declare that I have no existing interest in appointments to me made by the Nomcom and if I am approached by this round of the Nomcom (where members selected and not elected by the Excom are present) I undertake to decline any such appointments.

I am sure that other members of the Excom will also come forward in like manner.

Zahid Jamil

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,

Marilyn -

Apparently, I could not be heard when there was a call for other
business.  I won't be able to remain on the entire call as I have
another meeting. Would you please ask if there are others that feel
there should be a general vote on Nomination Committee representation
as we
do?

I'm sorry if we did not object before the excomm acted, I missed that
it was going to be decided by the excomm only.

We are uncomfortable with the composition of BC representation on the
NomComm. We would like to see a large business representative in the
mix and want to see if others feel the same way.

Thank you  - Fred
