In this instance, the NomCom as Ian had mentioned had served<br>previously to appoint the members of the Appeal Team. The NomCom was newly<br>drawn to serve the IGC in appointing the Appeal Team and have existed for<br>less than 12 months.<br><br>In this instance, since we are to give our list of Nominees to the IGC by<br>the 20th January, 2013, it becomes easier to use the existing NomCom. The<br>election candidates will include an additional question about MAG<br>Nominations which we will harvest and send to the NomCom, these persons<br>will be asked to submit their brief bios to enable the NomCom to make their<br>selections prior to the 19th January, 2013. This will then be posted to the<br>IGC and sent to the UNDESA.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 7:52 AM, Ian Peter <<a href="mailto:ian.peter@ianpeter.com">ian.peter@ianpeter.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> I think using the previous Nomcom is the most practical path forward, but<br>> above all I think leaving the process to the (single currently) Co<br>> ordinator is what we should do. The current Nomcom is less than 12 months<br>> old, has only been used to select an Appeals Team, and operated<br>> effectively. Not all Nomcoms in the past have been effective, as most of us<br>> know, and I would prefer not to take the risk of a longer process that<br>> might give us dubious results.

We don't<br>> know who will be rotated off, either in CS or with other stakeholder<br>> groups, and as the geographic and gender balance needs to be achieved<br>> cross-stakeholder, it is better for us to present more options ( the loss<br>> of a North American woman governmental representative may well present an<br>> opening for a civil society woman from that area, etc) So I think a larger<br>> group of nominees might be praxctical.<br>><br>> Ian Peter<br>><br>> -----Original Message----- From: Adam Peake<br>> Sent: Monday, January 07, 2013 2:54 AM<br>> To: <a href="mailto:governance@lists.igcaucus.org">governance@lists.igcaucus.org</a> ; Salanieta T.
