Overall, the size of the NomCom would increase from 21 to 25-27 individuals. Deadline for comments is 21 October, followed by a reply period which is due to close on 13 November. The GNSO Council received an update from George Sadowsky during its 5 September meeting. | James Bladel volunteered to provide lead input but only during the ‘reply period’ (i.e. once GNSO Groups / Constituencies have individually had the opportunity to provide input) of the public comments on the report of the ICANN Board Group on the Nominating Committee |
