  1. The criteria seems complete.  However, some attributes are clearly more important than others.  I would suggest that #1, 2, 3, 4 & 9 are ranked co-equal with 80% weight of  decision.

    Carlton

    1. Excellent suggestion, Carlton.  I would tend to agree with that 80-20 weighting.  In addition, I would cluster the following:

      • 8&9 because both are about analytical skills
      • 7&10 because both are about objectivity

      Best regards,

      Rinalia

       

  2. I support Rinalia proposal in general. Nevertheless, I have some comments and suggestions:

    • I don’t know why this is named sub-committee. I see it as an endorsement group or committee except if there is a reason for the suggested name. What about “Candidate Endorsement Committee (CEC)”.
    • To make it not too complicated, I propose that the Chair assesses the candidates as any other member, and thus counts in the regional balance
    • The matrix looks well for me. We can add a column  for a ponderation weight since Carlton rightly finds that all criteria don’t have the same importance.
    • As for Olivier, I agree to endorse him as a primary candidate. I already supported Carlton recommendation in this regard.
    • If endorsed by consensus as a primary candidate, Olivier will be exempt from assessment, but I don’t find it useful to add him to the sub-committee as an observer since he is still candidate.  
    1. Dear Tijani,

      Thank you for these input.  Below are my responses:

      1. I am open to alternative names for the committee and indeed "Ad Hoc Sub-Committee" is a mouthful.  However, I have been advised by the ALAC Chair that "Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee" is correct for the purpose.
      2. The role of Chair, in my opinion, is to guide and facilitate.  I believe in NomCom the Chairs do not vote.  I would like to follow this precedent because I think it is a best practice. 
      3. I will adjust the matrix for the Committee accordingly when it is ready to commence its work.  Right now I would like to see if there are more feedback from the ALAC regarding the matrix.
      4. With Olivier being exempt from assessment and already endorsed by the ALAC via consensus call as primary candidate, I don't think there is a problem with him observing the process.  While he is a candidate to the ATRT2, he is also still the ALAC Chair.  As ALAC Chair, it is his responsibility to monitor critical work, particularly those that will affect ICANN's governance arrangements.  If ALAC members are concerned about his participation in the committee as an observer, they should make it known (as you have done).  I am certain that he will take these concerns into consideration.  

      Best regards,

      Rinalia
