<p>I am happy you said "coordination with NomCom Chair". So I expect
we should be having NomCOM by now, and they handling the
selection/election process of the Co-Chairs going forward.</p>
<p>The Secretariat providing the support necessary for the NomCom to
function.</p>

<p>AfriNIC has always been Secretariat for PDWG. But I
can't remember it mutating into a NomCom.</p>
