[registrars] FW: 2004 Nominating Committee - Invitation

[Jean-Michel Becar]

Dear Elana,

I really appreciate this clarification and makes us clear  how the 
NomCom will be formed.
But still as this is not an ICANN requirement as mentioned by Theresa I 
really don't see the point to follow it.
Would be very intersting to hear from other registrars their position 
about that subject if they want to see somebody from the constituency or 
not at the NomCom representing the Registrars.

My personal point of view is that requirement should be an ICANN 
requirement to avoid to have some constituencies with their participants 
and other without..which will make the situation unfair.
I already know the registry constituency has already decided who they 
will nominated and I can tell you he will be somebody working for a 
registry.
So here we have 2 solutions: either to coordinate with all the 
constituencies to make sure everybody follwo the same rule or we can 
choose to do like some other constituency and to ignore this requirement.

that was my 2 cents participation for today.
Regards,
Jean-Michel

I would urge you to consider nominating someone who will clearly "be independent and not accountable, or beholden, to the constituency that selects them, or to any person, employer, or organization," while also having a good understanding of the ICANN dynamics and the registrar market.
