IGC Members,<br>
<br>
We have several nominees/volunteers for the Appeals Team, but we've
not confirmed that all the nominees are willing to serve. So the
NomCom would like to make a final request that some more of you to
step forward. See below for details on the duties of the Appeals
Team. <br>

Sunday night is the deadline.<br>

OK, the <u>S</u>ubject: is a too obvious joke considering the
quality of performance by our hard working and esteemed co-chairs.
But on behalf of the Appeals Team nominating Committee, I'm
compelled to note: we're past the half-way mark for submitting
nominations for the IGC's Appeals Team, <b>and not one name has
been submitted!</b><br>
<br>
The important and engaging discussions on topics relating to the
Internet's future provide a better excuses for the paucity of
nominees than the traditional "the dog ate my paper." But the
deadline for nominations is approaching - next Sunday, June 24,
see details below - and we have a responsibility to have an
Appeals Team.<br>
<br>
See the duties and qualification details below, and send
nominations to the Appeals Team members:<br>

Appeals Team is an important part of our responsibilities.
This email begins the process of creating a new Appeals Team.

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>
"Decisions by the appeals team are based on a majority vote of
the appeal team, i.e., three (3) or more votes, except in the
case of coordinator recall which requires full consensus. The
decision of the appeals team will be final on every decision
reviewed.”<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">“An appeals
team of five (5) IGC members will be formed. The appeals board
will be selected yearly by a randomly selected nominating
