Nominet Board Composition

[Whois-Search]

At present the Nominet board consists of 6 members:

http://www.nic.uk/governance/board/

2 executives:

Bob Gilbert - Chairman
Lesley Cowley - Chief Executive

***** Taylor also sits on the board panel as company secretary?

4 non-executives (elected by the members):

Alex Bligh
Gordon Dick
Fay Howard
Jonathan Robinson

However under the Board composition proposal of the governance consultation (first proposed at EGM1):

http://www.nic.uk/governance/consultation/boardcomp/

It suggests the board should be comprised of 9 members:

Up to 3 executive directors
Up to 3 elected non-executive directors and
Up to 3 appointed non-executive directors

One director will be elected by the membership per year.
Non executives will serve 3 year terms, and will usually stand down after 6 years.
The Chairman will be one of the "appointed non-executive directors".

So if implemented what would the 2008/09 Nominet board look like?

Would it be something like this (tongue-in-cheek):

3 executive directors:

Lesley Cowley
***** Taylor
Jay Daley

3 elected non-executive directors:

Jonathan Robinson
Gordon Dick
Peter Gradwell

3 appointed non-executive directors:

Bob Gilbert
Anna Ford (famous person 1)
Tim Berners-Lee (famous person 2)


So the membership would rely on just 3 elected members to represent them?
