for this round of MAG appointments, according to our present charter
and also for practical reasons of shortness of time it will need to be
done by a nomcom (for which at least the process is well-understood)
rather than by some "joint-board" process (which even if everyone
wanted it would still need to be defined precisely, and at least I
would be very reluctant to endorse the idea before having specific
information on how it would work).
Greetings,

While the charter <A class=moz-txt-link-rfc2396E href="http://igcaucus.org/charter"><http://igcaucus.org/charter></A> says:
"
All nominations to external bodies, e.g., the IGF multistakholder
advisory group, will be made using a randomly selected nomcom process
as defined here. "
and while the process for how a proper nomcom is done is also defined
in <A class=moz-txt-link-rfc2396E href="http://igcaucus.org/nomcom-process"><http://igcaucus.org/nomcom-process></A>
One can question whether endorsing a list produced by some other
means is a Nomination to the IGF MAG.
If it is isn't then I would think the normal list consensus process
would be within charter.
On the joint-board issue, that is an interesting idea and worth
discussing with the participants of other Civil society
recommendation producers. I think that originally the IGC tried to
be that aggregator, but I agree, it is obviously no longer is, if it
ever was.
