Yes, I understood that, but I added a caution about the long-term
solution, as Avri seemed to indicate that their might be some
reconsideration of that. But perhaps I read too much into it. But even if
it were a long term requirement that the choice be made in the GNSO,
nothing requires us to select the ongoing method now - we first need to
address this year's issue. And assuming the NomCom does take on the
responsibility next year, we will need to think about whether this year's
allocation is locked in for the next year (where at least 2/3 NCAs will
remain on the GNSO), or whether all three will be (re)assigned.<br><br>

<dd>If I understood Avri correctly yesterday, the immediate concern is to
address where this coming year's NCA's sit, as it is possible (but not a
sure thing) that next year the NomCom itself will take on the role. So
any decision made now could be with the understanding that it is for this
year only, with the three known NCAs.<br>
<dd>Or it could be a generalized solution that will work every year if
the NomCom does not do it.<br>
<dd>One last thought is that if option e is adopted, I do not think that
it would be fair to say that Andrey Kolesnikov is destined to fill that
role for his entire two years. He applied for the position based on the
old structure and rules.<br>

<dd>Hi,
<dd>as discussed yesterday in the conference call, and to start the
discussion in our list, I am including possible options for assigning the
role of the three NCAs in the new structure of the GNSO Council:<br>
<dd>Option a: The NCAs talk it through and figure out which roles
seem right to them.<br>
<dd>Option b: Random selection.<br>
<dd>Option c: The council members decide with random selection of
which House chooses first.<br>
<dd>Option d: The two Houses collaborate and decide among them
where the NCAs will be assigned.<br>
<dd>Option <font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>e</font>: The new,
inexperienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting Council seat and one of the
above options is used to assign the two House seats.<br>
<dd>Option f: The experienced NCA rep assumes the non-voting
Coundil seat and one of the above options is used to assign the two House
seats<br>
<dd>Option g: (Combination of option a and d) The two Houses collaborate
and decide among them where the NCAs will be assigned, with a refusal
option by any of the NCAs.<br>
<dd>Please iclude other options thay you may think of and share your
comments about this in the list. <br>
<dd>We should decide about this in our next GNSO conference call on 24
September.<br>
<dd>Best regards
<dd>Olga<br>
