[Community-Discuss] [members-discuss] Accountability assessment - bylaws changes

[Arnaud AMELINA]

Hi CEO, nomcom chair,

We are reading the GC call for nominations and see a procedure for
elections. There is however no requirements, criteria or experience stated
which is surprising as this is to do with a governance committee. Any
reason for this?

Furthermore  and once again, why are COE members not allowed to join GC,
why COE could not appoint a nominee to GC or for that matter why COE not
used for the GC.

Regards

Arnaud
