<div>all I would add Adam was that by the time all names had been gathered
from multiple lists we had less than 48 hours to arrive at combined names to
meet the deadline – the London meeting is only 2 weeks away. So this called for
a pretty quick methodology. (and this at a time when people were travelling from
ICANN meetings etc and working through time zones).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I should add that in addition to the two candidates mentioned we will be
arguing strongly for Jovan to also be included as an independent
facilitator.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our other option in the time frame, I think, was to do nothing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I should add that Anriette was not involved in any decision to include her
name. That was a unanimous decision from others who participated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes, an imperfect process. But one that gave us good well supported names
in a very limited timeframe.</div>

Adam Peake's question from another thread:<br><br>
<blockquote type="cite"><pre>I have a concern. But first could you please explain who was involved in the selection process, who from which organizations, what criteria considered, who were the candidates considered.
</pre></blockquote><br>Also cc'ing the governance list, because this is not a
Best Bits-specific issue (the new joint civil society committee is <b>not</b> a
Best Bits committee, I've merely been put forward as the liaison from Best Bits
to sit on it).<br><br>So who was involved in the selection process?
Everyone who has been involved in discussions in the networks that are on the
steering committee. The liaisons from each network have been passing those
discussions on. Who are those liaisons? One from each of the civil
society networks that is currently on the joint committee, viz. Sala (and
formerly Norbert) from IGC, Robin Gross from NCSG, myself from Best Bits, Ginger
Paque from Diplo, Anriette from APC and Ian Peter as an independent
chair.<br><br>Those members are not set in stone, they just volunteered to fill
an urgent need for a way of nominating civil society representatives to various
processes jointly. We are going to be suggesting, and opening for
discussion, some criteria for other groups to join. Other groups who
already expressed interest are Michael Gurstein on behalf of his community
informatics network, and the Internet Rights and Principles coalition. But
meanwhile, we have put aside further process-tweaking in order to deal with the
urgent task at hand.<br><br>As for what criteria and what candidates were
considered, there is a thread on this with discussion back and forth, and it
would take some time to go back and summarize it. But amongst the
candidates considered were:<br>
<div style="FONT:10pt tahoma">
<ul>
<li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">William Drake</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Valeria Betancourt</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Anriette Esterhuysen</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Vladimir Radunovik</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Michael Gurstein</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Thomas Lowenhaupt</font>

</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Stephanie Perrin</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Tara Taubman</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Judy Okite</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Anju Magnal</font>
</li><li><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">Jovan Kurbalija<br></font></li></ul>The main
criterion was how much support existed within the individual networks that had
put forward the names in question. Also considered important was that
there should be at least one person who can represent internal ICANN issues, and
one person to represent wider issues. The candidates should also have been
involved with the communities that were nominating them.<br><br>That's about all
that I have to say for now. Ian, as the independent chair, may wish to
address any further questions that you might have.<br></div>
