Dear Councillors,

If I may,

The proposed redraft of the second bullet under the last section of
"Eligibility" may require some clarification:

*Eligibility*

   - The memberApplicants must commit to act independently and in the
   larger public interest, and not act as a representative of, nor lobby or
   advance the interest of any ICANN community group, client, employer,
   organization, group, or committee.

Does Council intend for this commitment to be solicited during NomCom's
application process *but to only have effect during the term of a selected
Applicant*? Otherwise, this draft could be interpreted to instantaneously
render certain potential candidates ineligible to apply, eg. someone
appointed by an ICANN community group etc to participate and continues to
participate in an existing PDP WG under the PDP 3.0 representative
models, during the application period.

Noting that this JD also provides that NomCom appointee can participate
in GNSO and Council activities, including GNSO WG.

Thank you,

Justine
