RE: [gnso-restruc-dt] Q3. In Section 3 1.e: Mechanism for selecting house for NCAs

["Metalitz, Steven" <met@xxxxxxx>]

When the new Council is to be seated, the NCA's should be selected by
the Nominating Committee, just as the other council members are to be
selected by the SGs in accordance with whatever procedures they adopt.
The NCA's have no authority to select who will sit on the GNSO Council.
The Nominating Committee has that authority.  In the same way the
existing constituency representatives cannot "reappoint" themselves to
the new council, they serve there only if selected by the SG.

The RC has not taken a position on this issue, but my view is that the
Nominating Committee should decide which appointee sits in which house.
As part of the NomCom process, the nominees themselves should state a
preference for the three positions and such preferences should be taken
into account in the selection process.  This way the Nominating
Committee would not select three individuals who only want to sit in one
house and not the other.  Similarly, a candidate might not want to sit
in either house and only as the non-voting at large appointee.  

For this year, we should have the NCAs themselves select which house to
sit.  If they can't work it, I would be ok with the GNSO Chair making
the decision.     

Thanks.

Q3. In Section 3 1.e:  Mechanism for selecting house for NCAs

We need to describe exactly how the Nomcom Appointees (NCAs) are to be
assigned to a house.

There have been several methods suggested including but not restricted
to the following:
  -  Houses Pick (the current text in the by-laws doc)
  -  Nomcom selects specifically for each house
  -  NCA choose among themselves
 
One method has to be chosen and described in sufficient detail in the
proper place.

It has additionally been asked, whether this needs to be described in
the by-laws or is an issue that could be documented in Council Rules and
Procedures (related to a larger issue of differentiating between things
that in the by-Laws and things that can be left to Rules and Procedures
documents.  This larger issue is related separately in Question 7)
