<div dir="ltr">I do think that criteria the nomcom uses needs to be more transparent. I think that each year's nomcom should be seeking out candidates that can fill expertise and diversity requirements. The community should know what these requirements are so they can make an informed decision about who to vote for. If the board desperately needs CFO-like expertise then the community should know that. <div><br></div><div>----Cathy</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">{Ô,Ô}</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> (( ))</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"> ◊ ◊</font></div></div></div></div>

>> This is, essentially, how AfriNIC resolved their very difficult intra-regional representation problem. They have seats allocated by sub-region, and candidates run for a seat. If you just divided our six elected seats up by population, you’d get 5.33 seats for the U.S., 0.59 of a seat for Canada, and 0.08 of a seat for the Caribbean. Personally, I wouldn’t like to be divided into .33, so I proposed three seats for the U.S., two for Canada, and one for the Caribbean, which should give the Caribbean and Canada little cause for complaint.<br>
