I currently serve as chair the Nominating Committee for the Environmental
Forum of Marin, a 27 year-old organization. In our situation, the
Nominating Committee wields enormous power because it screens potential
candidates and presents a proposed slate to the Board of Directors which is
then approved to be voted on by the members at the annual meeting. While
additional nominees can come from the floor at that time, the vote is
always pro forma. The Nominating Committee nominates its successors.
Where are the checks and balances in the ICANN @Large nominating plan? An
ICANN board can appoint a Nominating Committee that has a particular agenda
or perspective and may screen out candidates who do not fit the desired
mold.
