RE: [gnso-arr-dt] Some ideas for a process for GNSO endorsement of AoC Review Team Volunteers

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let me make sure I understand Rafik.  Are you saying that geographic
diversity should trump all other requirements?  In other words, if a
candidate does not meet other qualifications but does come from a
geographic region for which there is no representation, then that
candidate should be endorse.
 
Olga and Zahid - Because you agreed with Rafik's point, I would
appreciate it if each of you would respond to the above question as
well.
 
Rafik - You did not answer my question: "How would you suggest changing
the process?"
 
We have an extremely short timeframe.  When anyone disagrees, it would
really help if a specific alternative was provided.
 
Chuck

        Hi Chuck, 

        I don't think that we can compromise in that point as the
ongoing internationalization of ICANN is critical and I guess that is
subject to accountability too.
        with a real constraint, we may urge SGs to involve their members
from less-represented regions.  
        the same case may happen somehow for gender balance too.

        Regards

                Thanks Rafik.  How would you suggest changing the
process?  The proposed wording is: "No more than two volunteers should
come from the same geographical region."  The key word is "should"; that
was intentional because if there are not qualified, volunteers from
enough geographic regions, what would we do?  The goal would be to not
have more that two from any one region, but that may not be achievable.
                 
                Chuck

                        Hi Chuck, 



                                 "have less than three geographic
regions represented. ".
                                 


                        I am uncomfortable with this point because in
practice some regions wasn't enough represented and this will allow the
status quo for RT. 

                        if it is not late, no objection for extension.

                        Regards
