RE: [registrars] Alternate suggestion for a draft
Tim,
YOu
will see from my draft, that I suggest two ways to pick the council, one is a
second committee, but the other is to simply have the board choose
them.
The
problem I have with the way the nomination committee is structured in the first
draft, is that it is basically a similar structure as the Names Council is
now. By putting every special interest and their dog no it, you will end
up with the horse-trading that occurs now, as everyone tries to get their
candidate onto the board.
In my
view, this is unworkable. The Nominating committee has to be more
independent than that. I don't believe that simply stacking it with
special interest groups will work. Much better to have good, independent
people.
While
I am typically not in favour of governments, I suspect that the at large will
not be able to organize for the first set of appointments, and the GOV's will
bring some balance to the committee. Please also note that governments
should not be allowed to appoint themselves, as per Mr. Lynn's draft, but rather
must appoint impartial people not connected nor employed by
them.
Rob.
