<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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)</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The process is described in full at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/2">http://www.igcaucus.org/node/2</a>. But
briefly,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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 </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Please volunteer. We need your help to make this process work </span></font></p>
