Re: [council] NCA Assignments
Hi,
Not having heard, and proceeding to the final step,
d. If the GNSO Council Houses and/or their respective Stakeholder
Groups are unable to reach agreement, then the new, inexperienced
NCA will take the non-voting Council seat and random selection will
be used to assign the other two NCAs to Houses before the Council
meeting on 8 October 2009.
Note: If I need to do a random selection, I will use the Wednesday 7
Oct Powerball Lottery number (http://www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_numbers.asp
) as seed to the IETF RFC3797 random selection algorithm with the
names ordered alphabetic by first name.; ie. Olga, Terry. Doing so,
however, will result in at least one of the NCAs being given an
assignment that is contrary to their expressed interests.
The lottery number for yesterday was: 2 20 21 38 50
Using alphabetical order for the picks, the names are ordered:
1. Olga
2. Terry
Also using alphabetical order for the assignments,
1st name picked goes to Contracted Parties House
2nd name picked goes to Non Contracted Parties House
the RFC3797 program run (included below) picks #2 first
meaning:
Terry is assigned to Contracted
Olga is assigned to Non Contracted
Andrei, by motion, is non-voting Council seat.
a.
Run of the RFC3797 program
Type size of pool:
(or 'exit' to exit) 2
Type number of items to be selected:
(or 'exit' to exit) 1
Approximately 1.1 bits of entropy needed.
Type #1 randomness or 'end' followed by new line.
Up to 16 integers or the word 'float' followed by up
to 16 x.y format reals.
2 20 21 38 50
2 20 21 38 50
Type #2 randomness or 'end' followed by new line.
Up to 16 integers or the word 'float' followed by up
to 16 x.y format reals.
end
Key is:
2.20.21.38.50./
index hex value of MD5 div selected
1 EFC9E973E94E5D3BB70D8CDE6C0EDBCD 2 -> 2 <-
Done, type any character to exit.

Hi,
I have not heard from any of the other SG representative on the
subject of NCA assignment.
I will run the lottery shortly unless I hear that people have
reached agreement.
Using alphabetical order for the picks, the names will be ordered:
1. Olga
2. Terry
Using alphabetical order for the assignments,
1st name picked goes to Contracted Parties House
2nd name picked goes to Non Contracted Parties House

Hi,
Thanks Kristina.
Assuming the NCSG agrees, it remains for the Contracted Parties
House to agree or not to the assignment of Andrei. If they do, I
assume the assignment of Olga as the non voting just falls out.
I am in the UK, and about to go to sleep after a longs day's
flight. I will hold off running the random selection until I hear
back from folks tomorrow.

All,
On behalf of the Commercial Stakeholder Group, I write to advise
that Terry's preference to be assigned to the Non-Contracted
Parties House is acceptable to us. I communicated this
information yesterday to the NCSG point person on the issue. As
no other SG has yet posted any assignment-related information, we
are posting to the Council list in the hope of facilitating
Council completion of the assignment process in the previously
agreed upon timeframe.
