Direct email discussions were conducted with people suggesting changes, following which the NomCom then agreed on the final selection criteria and questions to be covered by applicants in their nominations.

This resulted in three self nominations. Since the IGC Charter calls for five members to form an Appeals Team a further call for nominations was posted with an extended deadline, July 10th. This attracted three additional candidates, one of whom was not eligible to serve as he was a current member of the Appeals team and not eligible for renomination. At this point it transpired that one member of the NomCom may have intended to nominate himself for the Appeals Team rather than the NomCom. This misunderstanding was due to linguistic barriers and the concerned member has been encouraged to apply next year. As a member of the NomCom recalls, there was potential confusion on the list between the call for NomCom members for random selection and discussion about the Appeals Team itself. This could have been difficult for non-English speakers to follow and is an on-going matter for this list.</div><div style="font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">The Call for Proposals is pasted below for your reference. </div><div style="font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Regards,</div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><br></div></div></div><div>
