<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">As a result of further discussions over the
last 24 hours the situation if we participate could be</DIV>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">CSCG Nomcom receives all nominations for
civil society participation for evaluation.</DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> </DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">CSCG Nomcom recommends one candidate per
geographic region and submits with reasons.</DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> </DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">NMI convenes a (virtual) meeting with CSCG
Nomcom and their transitional council to discuss any issues arising, with a view
to reaching a rough consensus agreement if there are any issues with our
nominations. If there is a strong dissenting voice from another area of civil
society they may also be invited to participate – after discussion with us.
Their suggestion is for any such discussion to be livestreamed.</DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> </DIV>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">This is all new and currently being discussed
within CSCG, but it represents a stronger commitment to CS choosing its own
representatives. </DIV>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Passed on for the sake of clarity as regards
what our participation in choosing representatives would look like. But this is
of course only one factor in people making a decision here.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">You must have heard a good
deal about this by now, so I won't repeat the background details. In the middle
of the night last night, before hitting the bed after a long and drawn out day
playing catch-up with deadlines, I saw that Ian (chair of CSCG) forwarded the
NMI Transitional Committee's reply the CSCG enquiry. Basically, they are willing
to let the CSCG vet CS candidates to be part of the NMI Coordination
Council.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Now the question before us is
to get a feel of the membership of CSCG member entities as to whether to get
involved in the NMI process or not. I believe this is the last step in the
consultations we've been having (with NMI initiators, among ourselves at the
CSCG and with the membership of our respective organizations.) After this we
should be able to give a definite answer, formulate a definite position about
our participation in the NMI process. </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">So what do you think? Please
get right to the point and be brief. State your preference for IGC Involvement
or No involvement and, if you care to provide us with such, I would be grateful
to you if you could keep your supporting argument in one short paragraph (as we
just want to take the "temperature of the room" if you see what I mean.) </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Thank you for your
understanding.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Best regards.</DIV>
