Thank you, John. However, the first words in the quoted portion of the process are: “In consultation with ARIN’s GC”. Nothing in that process prevents the Chair from asking the GC for a draft, then sending it to the nominee as-is.
Not that it matters. Whether you believe it sounds like a lawyer letter or not, it provided no actual reasoning for keeping the nominee off the slate. As I said at the open mic, I am not complaining about the volunteers who gave their time to the NomCom. I am upset with the structure of the NomCom. An opaque committee selected by the board with zero accountability who gets to choose the slate is the exact opposite of how a community organization should run. -- TTFN, patrick > On Nov 4, 2021, at 12:47, John Curran <[email protected]> wrote: > Patrick - > > To be clear, this was the statement as prepared by Catherine Middleton, in > her role as Chair of this year’s Nomination Committee.
