<font face="sans-serif">Congrats to all the nominees. A very good list.<br>
<br>
However, independent of the results produced which I welcome and
support, I
strongly agree with the sentiment of Avri's questions below.<br>
<br>
Representativity is the central issue of democracy, and its
processes must be taken very very seriously, even if sometimes just
forthe process's sake. I may be wrong, but I seem not to have seen the
kind of openness (proactive and not just
formal), transparency, out-reach effort etc that is required for the
nomination/ election activity. Things like: we need to make repeated
calls for nomination, encourage people to nominate themselves and
others, pulbicize the process and perhaps the list of nomcom members as
well, make active out reach to various CS entities inviting nomination,
keeping the list posted of all developments, ......<br>
<br>
For instance, APC I am sure will forward its own slate of names to the
IGF secretariat. They should have been invited to submit their nominees
for IGC nomcom's consideration as well (and this has happened in the
past). Enriching our catchment of potential candidates and thus the
final list in this way greatly enhances IGC's legitimacy. And in the
civil society space legitimacy building and losing is a very live and
dynamic process. Every single act adds or takes away from it. At times,
like for the WG on IGF improvements, IGC has been considered the single
point of CS contact and representivity. We need to work hard to live up
to such a high responsibility, as mentioned by Avri. And I am really
not sure if we did in this case, though I am happy to be corrected.<br>
<br>
It is important to note that in the WG on IGF improvements we have been
seeking higher transparency, focussed and active out reach effort,
broad basing the pool of candidates etc for MAG selection, and we need
to practise what we preach. <br>
<br>
Among many other things, I also could not understand the meaning and
use of having candidates submit their information in the 'required'
format after the list of nominees is published. Isnt the required
information supposed to be submitted precisely to aid the evaluation of
nominees? <br>
<br>
There a few other points I will like to make, but a little later...

<pre wrap="">Hi,
Good names all.
But,
What process was used?
Was there a public call for nominations? Did I miss seeing that?
Where are their statements? Did I miss seeing that? Are they posted on the web site anywhere?
Is there a reason for each of these selections in terms of IGC expectations? Did I miss seeing that? Are they posted somewhere?
In the past we have gotten a Nomcom chair outlining everything in detail. Did I miss that?
The IGC's claim to represent Civil Society in Ig is tenuous at best
The lack of any information (or did I miss it?) on this selection risks that even further.

Dear All,
We thank the NOMCOM for selecting MAG candidates.
In the interest of transparency, NOMCOM wrote to advise that they had completed selection of the MAG. We have yet to receive the information in the required format and an email was sent out to the potential candidates to submit their information in the template shown within the email. Potential candidates were advised that failing to have the information submitted in required format could mean that their names would not be put forward. They have been given 12 hours to respond to enable this information to be sent.
Submission of names were to be sent on the 31st January 2012.
