That the first nomcom setup many of the rules and processes should
mean less work this time around.  I haven't found a list of posts to
be filled this year, perhaps 3 board seats, 2 ALAC, 1 GNSO council,
and 3 for the ccNSO council. And I think none for the NRO council as
yet?

Milton, could you ask what posts are to be filled.

Thanks,

Adam
