<br>
This sends a good result. And the ad hoc process seems to work in the direction of inclusivity, especially since it no longer gives solitary decision making status to a broken caucus.<br>
<br>
I am actually heartened that IGC and BB did not both participate, since until there is evidence from studies like Nnenna's, we cannot really consider them separate entities.<br>
<br>
And it is a good list of names.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The selection committee was formed from representatives
of the networks of NCSG (Robin Gross), APC (Chat Garcia Ramilo), Diplo (Virginia
Paque), and Best Bits (Jeremy Malcolm). Ian Peter was an independent
facilitator. Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) was involved with the process and
the call for nominations, but when its representative and sole co ordinator at
this stage (Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro) withdrew at a late stage it was not
possible to provide a replacement in the short time frame. Hopefully these
difficulties within IGC will be resolved for future efforts (with IGC co
ordinator elections due now). However, with 3 ex-coordinators of IGC involved
with the selection process we believe its interests were fully
represented.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Calls from nominations were invited on the mailing lists
of Diplo, Best Bits, IGC, NCSG and other civil society networks. Diplo
community undertook a process of narrowing its large pool of nominations to two
names before consideration by other selection committee members, and the result
of the various calls from various networks was that 13 names were considered by
the committee. The final names were arrived at by consensus of all the
representatives involved.</font><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">All of these representatives were chosen for their
capacity to represent civil society as a whole, not just their individual
organisational affiliations. We believe these representatives give a good cross
section of the various interests of civil society in internet governance
issues.</font><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt"> </span></p>
