    I am wondering, while the process used the last time seems to have resulted in the selection of a fine Board member, is there any thought to doing a review of the process and the degree to which:

    a. it worked from a process perspective as it should have

    b. whether it is a method that should be used again the next time At-Large/ALAC (s)elects a Board member?

      Avri the answer to your question above is  Yes and Yes,  the ABSdt is tasked with review and modification of the process ( if required) for BCEC activity prior to the next time At-Large selection for seat #15 of the ICANN Board is required (in June 2013 for a 2014 seating) and before the new BCEC is convened.
