Dear All,<br><br>This is to confirm that there is an Appeal Request underfoot that needs 4 to co-sign for it to reach the Appeal Team. The Appeal Team details can be found <a href="http://igcaucus.org/appeals-team">http://igcaucus.org/appeals-team</a><br>
<br>Given that the deadline to submit names to UNDESA is on 20th January, 2013, we have created an additional question in relation to nominations for MAG members using the Ballot e voting mechanism. Whilst the IGC election of the coordinators will close on the 18th January, 2013, we will be harvesting the nominations for MAG on the 12th January, 2013 and write to these nominees to ask whether they accept the nominations and request them to submit their details in the prescribed templates to a designated email address by the 14th January, 2013. We will be preparing a designated email address where nominations for MAG members will be received.<br>
<br>In the event that the Appeal Team are to review the Request, the work in gathering the nominations will not be impeded.<br><br>In the meantime, I have asked Thomas Lowenhaupt to preside as Independent Non Voting Chair of the existing NomCom and note that Hakikur and Naveed had recused themselves from the NomCom.<br>
<br>Thank you all for your patience.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>Sala<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 1:54 PM, Salanieta T.

The NomCom was newly drawn to serve the IGC in appointing the Appeal Team and have existed for less than 12 months.<br>
<br>In this instance, since we are to give our list of Nominees to the IGC by the 20th January, 2013, it becomes easier to use the existing NomCom. The election candidates will include an additional question about MAG Nominations which we will harvest and send to the NomCom, these persons will be asked to submit their brief bios to enable the NomCom to make their selections prior to the 19th January, 2013. This will then be posted to the IGC and sent to the UNDESA.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think using the previous Nomcom is the most practical path forward, but above all I think leaving the process to the (single currently) Co ordinator is what we should do. The current Nomcom is less than 12 months old, has only been used to select an Appeals Team, and operated effectively. Not all Nomcoms in the past have been effective, as most of us know, and I would prefer not to take the risk of a longer process that might give us dubious results. We will be lucky to meet the deadline even with the path of least resistance.<br>
<br>
Re numbers to put forward - I think we should be aiming at a large slate of nominees rather than a small one, to cover all contingencies. We don't know who will be rotated off, either in CS or with other stakeholder groups, and as the geographic and gender balance needs to be achieved cross-stakeholder, it is better for us to present more options ( the loss of a North American woman governmental representative may well present an opening for a civil society woman from that area, etc) So I think a larger group of nominees might be praxctical.<br>

<br>
Confirmed with the secretariat that the goal is to continue with<br>
rotation, i.e. one third each year (plus or minus a few.)<br>
<br>
How many CS MAG members are there now, about 12? Perhaps look to<br>
submit 6 names for the deadline?<br>
<br>
The members who joined last year only began at the May meeting. Hope<br>
they remain. A few of the people we suggested then were selected, in<br>
addition to the names the NomCom comes up with now, might be good to<br>
suggest that the 2012 batch also remain.<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
I have asked the former NomCom to assist in selecting the names of nominees<br>
that come in. The poll is currently being prepared for IGC elections and<br>
additional questions will be put forward to in relation to nominations for<br>
MAG etc. The list of names that come in will be asked to submit brief bios<br>
separately as well.<br>
<br>
The NomCom will deliberate and decide on the names but it is important that<br>
we get a broad selection as possible. We have yet to select the Independent<br>
Non Voting Chair for this.<br>
<br>
You will all be informed of developments soon.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
