Re: TAC membership

Dear Richard, dear PSO PC colleagues,

Having now had the time to read carefully the Final Report from the E&R
Committee, I see with satisfaction that the previous proposal of having TAC
members elected by the Nominating Committee has been removed but the text
"selection by the ICANN Board of 8 individuals out of nominations from the
4 bodies already in the PSO" could lead to misunderstandings. I agree with
Richard and Brian on not finding which kind of reason could the ICANN Board
have to reject a candidate proposed by our organizations as the most
appropriate for TAC and therefore this selection should simply be a formal
endorsement of the members proposed by the organizations . In the other
hand I wonder whether this proposal could deal to the undesired extreme
situation of having a TAC with 8 members from one of the 4 organizations if
that organization sends 8 nominations that the ICANN Board likes more than
those presented by the other organizations.

I would prefer to have a common reply from the 4 organizations simply
proposing the following text for bullet c) of TAC:

"The TAC shall consist of 8 members with direct experience with technical
standards issues relating to ICANN activities. They will be appointed by
the ICANN Board based on 2 nominations from each of the following
organizations: ETSI, IAB, ITU and W3C"

Kind regards,
Azucena

I guess you've all had a chance to look at the new ICANN bylaws and the
part
on TAC.

The only thing that bothers me is the fact that the TAC members are
nominated by the Board on the recommendation of the organizations
comprising
TAC.  Personally, I don't see why the Board should be able to veto or
refuse
the nomination of a particular person from an organization.

Does anybody else share my view?  If yes, we could again send individual
comments (or a joint one).

Thanks and best,
Richard
