>Hello All,
>
>As far as I understand there is general support amongst registrars for a
>nominating committee for the ICANN Board.  There have been a range of
>different views on the structure of the nominating committee.  Below is
>extracted from the draft position paper  - dated 14 May 2002 posted by
>Michael Palage to the registrars mailing list.  The paper resulted from
>several teleconferences and discussions amongst registrars.

>Regards,
>Bruce Tonkin

>The Nominating Committee should be composed of fifteen (15) voting members
>who are representative of the following sectors:
>
>·       Five (5) Providers
>·       Five (5) Users
>·       Five (5) At-large, government or equivalent representatives
>
>The Provider sector should ideally be parties that have contractual
>relationships with ICANN to provide DNS and Numbering services such as
>Registrars, Generic TLD Registries, registries, RIRs, Root Server Operators,
>etc, whereas the User sector would ideally encompass a broad spectrum of
>commercial, non-commercial and individual viewpoints. 
>
>Until an appropriate mechanism can be identified to select the five (5) at
>large, government, or equivalent representatives, ICANN should consider
>extending an invitation to existing At Large Board Directors at the
>conclusion of their term. Individuals nominated by the governments and
>distinct economies in the unrepresentative geographic region should fill any
>vacancies created by At Large Board Directors declining participation in the
>Nominating Committee.
>
>The Nominating Committee should be co-chaired by one (1) elected voting
>chair selected from among the fifteen members and one (1) appointed Trustee
>of the Board, preferably the CEO, serving in a non-voting advisory role. All
>voting members should be prohibited from serving on the ICANN Board of
>Trustees for a period of three years following the end of his or her term.
>
>The undersigned at this time have not yet formed an opinion as to the exact
>manner in how the representative members of each sector should be elected,
>or for how long they should serve. 
>
>In selecting the ten (10) At Large ICANN Board of Trustee Representatives,
>the Nominating Committee should use the following checklist of perspectives
>to ensure that a geographically and philosophically diverse group of
>Trustees is selected. This enumerated list of viewpoints is not meant to be
>exhaustive, but instead to provide a summary of those viewpoints that have
>been voiced in the current ICANN process to date and which will be important
>going forward. In some cases it may be possible for a Trustee to represent
>multiple viewpoints.
