[council] RE: Nominating Committee Appointees (NCA) selection to two Houses

[Rosette, Kristina]

I don't believe it's correct to say that there has been any "norm" as I don't think we've been doing this long enough to say there is.  It's my recollection that any pattern you describe is due primarily to an incoming NCA deferring to the preference of an existing NCA.  As both Lanre and Carlos would like to be assigned to NCPH, this is a matter for the NCPH to address, in my opinion.

Subject: [council] Nominating Committee Appointees (NCA) selection to two Houses


Dear All,

As you know, the Nominating Committee (Nom Com) has selected two Nom Com Appointees (NCAs), Lanre Ajayi and Thomas Rickert, to serve on the GNSO Council for the upcoming year.

Thomas Rickert has requested to be assigned to the Contracted Parties House (CPH) and the CPH has formally agreed that Thomas is a voting member in the CPH.

As it has traditionally been the norm that the previous year's non-voting NCA becomes a voting NCA, we expect that Carlos Aguirre will be assigned to the NCPH this year, and Lanre Ajayi will be assigned the non-voting seat.

Is this correct? Due to the close proximity of the Dakar meeting and the need to finalize organizational aspects of the meeting, the GNSO Council Secretariat would appreciate being informed of the NCPH NCA assignment no later than 30 September 2011 at 22:00 UTC.

Thank you very much.
Kind regards,

Glen
