Hi all,

having seen the need to find somebody from NCUC for a short term role in 
the NomCom – which requires a lot of knowledge of the different sections 
of ICANN for which the NomCom has to search, find, evaluate, and finally 
appoint people - I thought I might volunteer.

 From the time when I had served on the NomCom, I remember that it was 
quite a steep learning curve that had to be taken – for all there – 
before we had worked out a common understanding of the procedures how to 
handle the huge task with the instruments we had: motivating outreach, 
then the paperwork applying common criteria on the candidates 
submissions, accompanied by an ever tighter schedule of teleconferences 
in order to arrive at a convincing shortlist of candidates for the final 
round of decisions.

If my offer should meet the requirements for somebody to jump in midway 
and leave again when a full replacement will be available, let me know.
