Waudo,
 
In fact, seat 15 of the Board is a new Director position being filled as per a resolution of the Board. It is the At Large director position, the selection of which goes through a different process.The At large Community (ALAC) of ICANN has thus established an adhoc committee (BCEC) which oversees the process and proceed to voting.
 
The difference here is while the NOMCOM selects other board members, the BCEC has designed its own procedures including community forum call, wiki and  a vote by its 20 members.
 
I hope this helps!
Regards
Pierre

Inspirational words Eric but I thought the "Africa" rep on the ICANN
BOard is selected by the NOMCOM. The current one is our friend from
Gambia. I would be very happy to hear that Pierre is also on the Board
but in my mind he would first and foremost be there for the ALAC??
