something like this: "<SPAN

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>selection</FONT></SPAN>"; this change may be
more for our benefit than for the NomCom, but I think it is important for us to
realize the period when the nominee will begin service. For example, as I
can tell you noted, Jon Bing's term will end next year and he has been a very
valuable contributer regarding 'knowledge of international law' and
'intergovernmental expertise'; therefore, if Jon is not reselected, we could
have a gap in those areas.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Another possible area where we could have a gap is IDN
technical expertise. We have primarily relied on Cary in this regard and
he is no longer on the Council. Edmon also has good expertise in this area
and there may be others who can fill the gap here, but in the next few years
IDNs are going to be a very important topic. So I would suggest that we
mark 'IDN expertise'.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

DNSSEC, it might be useful to not only add it to the list but to mark
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Although I support highlighting the skills that
may be most needed, I think the overall statement is too highly weighted
on "skills". Less well defined qualities such as perspective may be of
value, and we should give the NomCom leeway in selecting people who can
help the GNSO. As currently stated, having one of the listed of
highlighted skills is mandatory for selection.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>I had already inserted a section

<DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 12px Helvetica" face=Helvetica
size=3> {Appointees should be people who can help the GNSO council to
perform its duties; sometimes this may involve filling gaps in the skill set,
at other times it may involve addressing a diversity or other demographic
balance or may involve bringing a necessary perspective into the council that
is not already present. Generally an appointee needs to fulfill several
of these needs at the same time.}</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Lastly, I would adjust the "at least 20 hours per
month" to reflect 3 ICANN meetings and possible other face-to-face
meetings. On a personal note, never having completed my speed-reading
course, 20 hours is way low at times when we are hit with large documents
to review.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 12px Helvetica" face=Helvetica

3 face to face meeting, this can sometimes escalate to as much as 20 hours per
week or more. The commitment for the 3 face to face meetings generally
run about 7 days with council members having sometimes extensive
responsibilities on most days. For those involved in Task forces or Working
Groups, there may occasionally be additional face to face interim
meetings} </FONT></DIV>
