The NC's process is one that essentially turns the GA into a nothing more
than a secretariat for the collection of names.

The bylaws give the GA, as a body, the specific authority to make
nominations. The NC's so-called "procedure" turns that into a mockery by
removing the ability of the GA as a body from having any discretion in the
selection.

And it is particular sad that this emasculation is being performed on the
GA, the only body in all of ICANN that has an open memership.
