<BR>
This is a call for volunteers for the IGC NomCom for appointment of a new Appeals Team. To get this started, we need at least 25 volunteers. Either send your name to this list or to me by personal email.<BR>
<BR>
The process is described in full at <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.htm.">http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.htm.</a> But briefly,<BR>
<BR>
We need to appoint a new 5 member Appeals Team as their current term has expired. The appointments to the Appeals Team will be made by a Nominating Committee (nomcom) of five randomly chosen members of the volunteer pool for this task <BR>
<BR>
To choose the NomCom, we need a pool of a minimum of 25 volunteers. 5 people from the pool will be chosen via a pre-determined algorithm to serve as the NomCom and make the appointments, working with David Goldstein as independent non voting Chair. Those chosen will not be able to stand for Appeals Team this time round – other volunteers not chosen are able to stand.<BR>
<BR>
As far as I can see the only members excluded from volunteering are the Co-ordinators. Members of the previous appeals team, as they are ineligible to stand again, are able to volunteer for the NomCom. So are members of previous nomcoms.<BR>
<BR>
Everyone is urged to volunteer. So please consider volunteering by submitting your name now by return email. We cannot proceed with this overdue appeals team replacement until we have 25 volunteers. Your participation here will help us to get this task underway.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
