<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">Call for Nomination to
Appeal Team</span></b></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Jan 9 2006</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><span lang="EN-US">From Civil Society Internet Governance
Caucus (CS IGC) Appeal Team Nomcom </span></p><p style="text-align: left;" align="left">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Bret Fausett, Milton Mueller, Maja Andjelkovic, Adam Peake, Ralf Bendrath, Izumi Aizu (non-voting Chair)<br>
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><span lang="EN-US">Following our charter, we like to call for
nomination to the Members of the Appeal Team. (<a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html
</a>).<br> <br>We need
to select five (5) IGC members. To reach high quality members, we like to have
more than 10 nominations as a minimum target. Please send your nomination by Jan 21.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><span lang="EN-US">If we don't
get 10 nominations by then, we "may" extend the deadline for another week or so
though that will be decided by Nomcom (with consultation with the list, of course).
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><span lang="EN-US">We will announce
the result by January 31.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="left"><b><span lang="EN-US">Appeal Team function</span></b><br><span lang="EN-US">The work
of Appeal Team is, as the name suggests, a kind of work like judges in the
court: </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">When more than 4 individual members find
the decision of our two coordinators (now Parminder and Vittorio) not
acceptable they can bring the matter to the Appeals Team with their co-signed
statement. In other words, if things are going all OK, there is no work for
Appeal Team. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">When a decision is appealed, however, the
appeals team should review any discussions that occurred and will request
comments from the IGC membership. Based on the information they collect and
discussion, they will decide on the merit of the appeal. </span></p>
<p><b><span lang="EN-US">Qualifications</span></b><br><span lang="EN-US">Nomcom has proposed that Appeals team
should be Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (CS IGC) members. More
specifically, anyone who have subscribed to the IGC Charter and subscribed to
the IGC caucus mailing list for 2 months prior to the announcement of the appeals
team Nomcom process is eligible to be a candidate. (The Nomcom process started
on November 20th 2006, so anyone who has been the member since before September
21 is eligible). </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Naturally, two coordinators are NOT
eligible. All Nomcom members including the non-voting Chair are also not
eligible. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">We expect that the successful candidate
should be a person with thoughtful and unbiased consideration and have a stated
(and demonstrated) commitment to consultation and dialogue with the community. </span></p>
<p><b><span lang="EN-US">How
to nominate</span></b><br><span lang="EN-US">Any CS-IGC member qualified to above conditions
can make the nomination. <span> </span><br>Nomination should be submitted to the IGC
list by the end of January 21 2006, UTC. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Self nomination will be accepted. It is recommended
to have a second support expressed by other IGC member(s) that will add more weight
for the selection. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">People who are nominated are kindly requested
to submit their statement to accept the nomination and indicate their commitment
to consultation and dialogue with the community. <br></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">For the CS IGC Charter, please see: <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
