Re: [bc-gnso] Toronto Agenda for BC members call.

["Zahid Jamil" <zahid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Ayesha and David,

I agree that we in the BC should maintain the highest standard of both 
transparency and accountability and avoid both actual and perceived conflicts 
of interest.  

As a member of the Excom which 'selected' (and did not elect) Nomcom appointees 
it would be appropriate and proper (due to the selection) for me to declare 
that I have no existing interest in appointments to me made by the Nomcom and 
if I am approached by this round of the Nomcom (where members selected and not 
elected by the Excom are present) I undertake to decline any such appointments. 
 

I am sure that other members of the Excom will also come forward in like manner.







Sincerely,

Ayesha,

As an ICC member I understand your constraints in not being able to offer a 
position for your organization.  I also want to thank you for your 
transparency.  Your professionalism in highlighting your personal conflict 
publicly and recusing yourself from a debate regarding the Nomcomm selection 
process is much appreciated and an important reminder to all of us that we need 
to avoid any conflicts in our activities within the BC.  Public disclosure of 
such conflicts ensures the credibility of our processes and the BC itself.

David

I have been contacted by some of my members (ICC) that are also BC members 
regarding this matter.   I recognize that this is a very important procedural 
matter that could have a profound impact on the BC's representation within the 
GNSO, Board and other positions' selection processes. I feel that without a 
more formal decision from my broader membership (ICC membership) I cannot weigh 
in formally on this matter.  With this in mind, I feel that I should recuse 
myself from offering any personal thoughts on this matter also given that my 
partner is on the ICANN Board and I would like to avoid any appearance of 
conflict for myself and to avoid any possible negative implications for the BC 
itself.

Kind regards,
Ayesha

Colleagues,

I would like to reiterate the proposal that I made on the BC call yesterday 
regarding the procedure for selecting our NomComm representatives.  First 
however, I would like to make clear that NewsCorp is in no way questioning the 
integrity and competence of the candidates for the NomComm, all three would be 
excellent representatives.

While the Bylaws appear to delegate to the Excomm a decision as to whether 
NomComm representatives should be appointed by the Excomm or elected by the 
constituency members, I would recommend that the BC, by default, adopt 
elections to ensure transparency and that all members' voices are heard.  I 
would also recommend that we amend the Bylaws to require elections for BC 
Nomcomm representatives.

Thanks,
David

Agree.  Would like to know who was the third nominee and why ExComm took it 
upon itself to make this decision without input from Members.

Thanks,
Mike
