<div>In light of the overwhelming response, perhaps you should make the entire list (excluding new people like me) the defacto nominating committee! It would save you a new list or a lot of CCs! Nice show of willingness to contribute! -Karl E. Peters</div>

<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>So that we can begin a process to select IGC nominations for the Multi Stakeholder Advisory Group, we first need a pool of volunteers from whom the IGC Selection Committee (or Nomcom) will be chosen. </FONT></FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>To get this started, we need 25 volunteers if at all possible. But we must close off the pool on or about January 7 to meet our deadlines. Either send your name to this list in reply to this message or to me by personal email. (to the list is preferable)</FONT></FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>The process is described in full at <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/2" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/2">http://www.igcaucus.org/node/2</a>. But briefly,</FONT></FONT></div>

<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>The IGF Secretariat has called for nominations from stakeholder groups for potential new members of their Multi Stakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) .The suggested candidates from this caucus will be made by a Nominating Committee (nomcom) of five randomly chosen members of the volunteer pool for this task </FONT></FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>So we need to have a selection committee ( a nomcom) To choose the NomCom, we ideally 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 an independent non voting Chair whose name will be announced shortly. Those chosen will not be able to stand for MAG selection this time round – other volunteers not chosen are able to stand.</FONT></FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>Everyone is urged to volunteer. So please consider volunteering by submitting your name now in reply to this topic. We need 25 volunteers urgently. Your participation here will help us to get this task underway.</FONT></FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><FONT size=3>Those selected will need to make some time available from mid January until early February to review candidate profiles and make selections as a group. Past experience suggests you might need to devote about 6 hours total to this task over a month.</FONT></FONT></div>
