[governance] Re: Nomcom and conflict of interest

[George Sadowsky]

Dear Stephane,

I've scanned the page referenced for the string "represent' and I 
come up with this unique occurrence:

"As a private-public partnership, ICANN is dedicated to preserving 
the operational stability of the Internet; to promoting competition; 
to achieving broad representation of global Internet communities; and 
to developing policy appropriate to its mission through bottom-up, 
consensus-based processes"

I don't think that achieving broad representation of the Internet 
community _within_ ICANN is the same as ICANN representing the 
community.

George
