In the spirit of multistakerholderism, I see no problem (and actually
support) the IGC reaching out to the Internet Technical Community
(ISOC/IETF is an excellent starting point) as well as other Technical
groupings from the RIRs, for example.

All of this may be moot if, in fact, there are members of the
Technical Community who are also members of the IGC and who may wish
to identify themselves as such.

Although it is an unusual and perhaps difficult task, I think it is
best to support the NomCom in their deliberations to emerge with
suitably qualified nominees.

Best wishes,

Tracy
