<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Would there be value in considering the
addition of appointed non-voting members of the board? Clearly
one who is appointed to this seat(s) would not be a full member
and thus doesn't change the current voting structure (so it looks
less like a quota seat), but it might be a way to signal to the
membership for the next year's election that an individual who was
appointed merits serious consideration as a regular elected board
member. <br>

<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.

>> 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>
