* '''Recommendation 10''': Representation on the NomCom should be re-balanced immediately and then be reviewed every five years.
* '''Recommendation 10''': Representation on the NomCom should be re-balanced immediately and then be reviewed every five years.
** ''IWG Question to Community'': What process, based on which principles, would you suggest for the implementation of this recommendation to rebalance the NomCom? And, what criteria should the overall allocation of all NomCom seats among the SO/ACs be based on?
** ''IWG Question to Community'': What process, based on which principles, would you suggest for the implementation of this recommendation to rebalance the NomCom? And, what criteria should the overall allocation of all NomCom seats among the SO/ACs be based on?
** ''Community Responses'':
** ''Community Responses'':
*** Ask community consensus on considering the growth and expansion of SO/ACs when rebalancing the NomCom, including allowing all stakeholder groups and constituencies to be treated equal...
*** Creation of a working group that would be tasked with undertaking an assessment and ultimately making recommendations for the actual re-balancing.
*** A constituency-based approach, trying to maintain a proportional representation, diversity within the representatives should be one of the criteria.
*** Follow these principles:
# Gain consensus on the purpose of re-balancing
# Identify if there are any SO/ACs not adequately represented on the NomCom
# Determine if we envision a future where there might be more SO/ACs and whether this would have an impact on the proposed review period of five years
# Determine if there are there methods for re-balancing aside from how seats are allocated to SO/ACs (i.e. suggest that the SO/ACs re-balance their NomCom reps)
# Identify options for re-balancing, assuming no change in the size of the NomCom
# Identify options for the unutilized GAC seat for the NomCom
# The NomCom Review could develop several possible solutions and conduct a workshop during the AGM whereby the community provides feedback to the different solutions
*** The suggested review of the NomCom structure should incorporate comments on the rebalancing exercise from all bodies that appoint members to the NomCom
* '''Recommendation 14''': Formalize communication between the NomCom and the Board, SOs/ACs, and the PTI Board in order to understand needed competencies and experience.
