Comment: Migrated to Confluence 4.0

1. NomCom Discussion

NomCom is supposed to recruit for AP, Africa and Latin America. It is important to achieve gender balance and have the new regional representatives living in the region they will represent.

A Greenberg comments that some ALAC members - including nomcom reps have been poor performers in the past. C Langdon-Orr reminds that ALAC requests an extraordinary amount out of the members and get it 2/3 of the time from 1/2 of its people. There is a need for fresh perspectives.

The proposed candidates should ideally be fluent in English, be available on average two hours per day. They should be generalists and self-starters. Besides, there is a need for English speaking African representatives to also be considered for greater within region geographic diversity (Intra Regional diversity points made are applicable to all Nom Com Regional appointments and consideration of the elected representatives from RALO's also needs to be looked at in these terms as well).

2. Response to to ALAC Review

Trishia will ask to extend closing till 30th to allow for full vote on / ratification of the Statement. A Greenberg will have this up to the the list / Agenda in a few days.
