Dear Anriette,<br><br>Thank you for your email and the clarifications. I had sent a message offline that the NomCom had indicated that they would address it in their report. I wish the APC candidates well in the selection process.<br>

Dear colleagues<br>
<br>
I would like to clarify the following with regard to APC's MAG<br>
nominations to the IGC NomCom.<br>
<br>
1. APC submitted our names for consideration by the IGC nomcom on 20<br>
January in the template provided by the Secretariat, addressed to<br>
<a href="mailto:jam@jacquelinemorris.com">jam@jacquelinemorris.com</a>. We did not receive a bounce of any kind and<br>
assumed our names were received.<br>
<br>
2. After the NomCom published their selection on 1 February we wrote<br>
again to ask for confirmation that our names were received as only one<br>
of the names we proposed made it onto the list and we new that person<br>
had also been nominated by someone else. We were not questioning<br>
the NomCom process, we just wanted to check that all our names were<br>
considered.<br>
<br>
3. Sala responded on 2 February to say we would need to wait for the<br>
NomCom report.<br>
<br>
4. When the report was published on 15 February we noted that our names<br>
were not in the pool of names considered and we asked for clarification.<br>
We have still not received an explanation for why our names were not in<br>
the pool considered by the NomCom.<br>
<br>
We want to make it clear that:<br>
<br>
* APC did not question or criticize the NomCom process, we just wanted<br>
to know why the APC names were not considered, or, if it was just a case<br>
of a technical/spam issue resulting in the message not being received.<br>
<br>
* We did not ask the IGC at any time to endorse our names or forward<br>
them to the Secretariat.<br>
<br>
* We appreciate the IGC NomCom's offer to reopen the process but, as we<br>
said already, we feel this would not be fair to the current IGC<br>
nominees. We have in any case already sent our names directly to the<br>
Secretariat.<br>
<br>
