Hello Alain,

Thanks for your quick reply.  I can confirm that your request was taken
seriously, and discussed I the context with improvements being suggested
from several parties.

>>   John of course can say if that is possible or not, but I understand
that bylaws changes require Board Approval.

Yes - and require an appropriate community review process as well.

 There have been other requests for changes to the nominating committee -
including balancing numbers of reps from GNSO, ALAC, ccNSO, ASO  etc.   So
your request is not the only request, and some of the requests conflict
with each other.


>>  A final point: this decision also has repercussions on the resources
available to NPOC to participate in equal numbers as other Constituencies
in ICANN meetings. That is a secondary effect, but a real one nevertheless.

Does that refer to travel funding for nominating committee members?   I
have heard issues of travel funding come up in other forums as well -
including that the nominating committee may not need to actually meet at an
ICANN meeting, but could meet elsewhere.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
