Governance Caucus Appeals Team. As the chair for this task (the other
members of NOMCOM are Ian Peter, Qusai Al-Shatti, Hempal Shrestha and
Jacquiline Morris), I would like to share the the list of candidates
(in no particular order) we have from the recent ballot and

If you are on the list above and no longer wish to be considered,
please advise within 48 hours so we can finalise the slate by writing
to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nomcom@igf-online.net">nomcom@igf-online.net</a><br>
<br>
<b>The role of the
Appeals team (see below) is very important, and we actively encourage
more members
to send in their nominations. If you would like to be added to this
list for consideration, please
also write to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nomcom@igf-online.net">nomcom@igf-online.net</a> within 48 hours. <br>
</b><br>
The purpose of the Appeals Team as stated in our charter
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/charter">http://www.igcaucus.org/charter</a>) is as follows: "Any time 4 individual
members of the IGC co-sign a statement on the main IGC mailing list
they can appeal any decision of the coordinators. When a decision is
appealed, the appeals team will 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."<br>
<br>
The criteria for selection of Appeals Team members are as follows:<br>
A) Qualified IGC member<br>
Appeals team should be Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (CS
IGC) members.<br>
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. <br>
<br>
B) Qualifications<br>
Nomcom will primarily select persons based on their knowledge and
experience of issues faced by the caucus and their neutrality.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
C) Diversity and balance<br>
Appeal Team collectively should have good diversity and balance. The
attributes to be considered include, but not limited to Geographic and
cultural diversity, - Gender, Age, Skill set and knowledge, Disability<br>
<br>
These will be treated as a goal, but not as the absolute requirement.<br>
<br>
D) Others<br>
To avoid capture, no more than one employee/representative of a
particular organization should serve on the Appeal Team at any given
time.<br>
<br>
Nominations may be
sent to this mailing list, or to myself as chair of the Nomcom.
Self-nominations are permitted (and encouraged), though a seconding
member may help your application. Five members of the Appeals Team are
required. <br>
<br>
And finally - as not all nomcom members know all the candidates, we
invite all nominees to send some brief information about themselves and
their suitability to represent IGC - again to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nomcom@igf-online.net">nomcom@igf-online.net</a>
within 48 hours.<br>
<br>
