The subsequent consultation call generated more comment.<ref name="callrec">[https://participate.icann.org/p4r7jvke7tm/ NomCom2 Archive - Consultation Call on Assessment Report], January 25, 2018</ref> The first part of the call was again devoted to a presentation of the findings. Mark Engle from Analysis Group noted that "I think there's a recognition that the committee is doing as well as they can with the experience and skillset that they have." However, Engle noted that there were critical gaps in training and experience that reflected the volunteer nature of the ICANN structure.<ref name="callrec" />

Mark Engle from Analysis Group noted that "I think there's a recognition that the committee is doing as well as they can with the experience and skillset that they have." However, Engle noted that there were critical gaps in training and experience that reflected the volunteer nature of the ICANN structure. Examples included inconsistent criteria for recruiting and selecting candidates, as well as the lack of open and public discussion of the criteria that a given NomCom is seeking in candidates. Will Brown of the review team noted that each new NomCom "reinvented the wheel" on certain processes and initial work planning.<ref name="callrec" /> Comments and discussion revolved around not only NomCom's evolution and growth, but ensuring strategic alignment with the "new ICANN" after the [[IANA Transition]] and the development of the [[Empowered Community]]. [[Cheryl Langdon-Orr]] commented that this was "delightful opportunity" to generate consistency of practices and procedures, as well as continue to grow the transparency and predictability of the NomCom's work. She noted, also, that the ICANN community would find more opportunities for engagement with the NomCom if those continuity aspects continue to grow.<ref name="callrec" />  

The Analysis Group also held a meeting with the ICANN community at [[ICANN 61]] following the close of public comments on the assessment report. The presentation highlighted changes based on public comment, as well as a preview of recommendations to be presented in the final report.<ref name="61preso">[https://61.schedule.icann.org/meetings/RZtnQSnmbYn8Qum6R ICANN 61 Archive - NomCom Review Update], March 14, 2018</ref> <ref name="61audio">[http://audio.icann.org/meetings/sju61/sju61-OPEN-2018-03-14-T1242-208a-7SHo1auWS36pvXjoE4LPL2BfrnpdUlt2-en.m3u ICANN 61 Archive - Audio Recording of NomCom Review Update], March 14, 2018</ref>
