'constituency' appointments to Nominating Committee

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxx>]

To the Board,

One issue that becomes apparent when comparing the 4 SG charters is  
that conditions for Nominating Committee membership will vary  
depending on SG.  In some cases this will still be invested in the  
constituencies (CSG and NCSG), in one it is invested in Interest  
Groups (Registrars SG) and in one in the Executive Committee (Registry  
SG).
If the Board is making a decision to abolish the requirement for a  
constituency substructure to the Stakeholder Groupings, such as seems  
possible in the Contracted Parties House, then it seems that they must  
at the same time decide on how the seats in the nominating committee  
will be assigned and whether the methods proposed by the SGs are fair  
and equivalent.  Specific issues that might arise concern the number  
of Interest Groups in the Registrars SG since they will not be Board  
approved, and the number of seats the Board may ask the Registry  
Executive Council to appoint.
Thank You
