<div dir="ltr">Thinking about all of the comments that have been made about this selection process I've been wondering how things might be managed on another occasion in the future. <div>This time there was a long nomination period, which resulted in nothing happening at the beginning and a flurry of nominations in the last two or three days.</div><div>Instead of that how about having a stipulated fairly short period - 3 to 5 days or is that too short? - for nominations only, the nominations to be sent directly to the CSCG. After that deadline the whole list of nominations could be circulated among the CSCG's members with a request for expressions of support. This period would also have a deadline, after which the nomcom would be in a good position to make an informed selection of the necessary number of civil society representatives. The current process may present some danger of seeing nominees as "belonging to" one of the 5 member groups of CSCG because that is the way that the initial nomination happens currently. If the nominations are made directly to CSCG, and everyone has a chance to comment on all nominees then this possibility is averted.</div><div>What do other people think? Remember, this is speculation about a hypothetical selection in the future, NOT about the process currently underway.</div><div>Best wishes</div><div>Deirdre</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 16 March 2016 at 20:18, Renata Aquino Ribeiro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raquino@gmail.com" target="_blank">raquino@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Dear all, <br><br></div>I am also grateful for Remmy's observance of the process.

However, all the names are fantastic. <br></div><div><br></div>On a more general note, last time endorsements were gathered the CSCG showed some openness on discussing the nomination processes. In this spirit, I think endorsement for nominations clearly should follow some sort of interpretation. It is clear to me that the candidate who is nominated earlier has a better chance of gathering more endorsements and this should be taken into account. Also, some people may fear endorsing publicly one candidate or another because they may worry they could be in trouble with the other opponents and maybe lose on opportunities of collaboration, funding. I got some expressions of this worry when I was receiving endorsements. So emphasizing that endorsement can also be sent directly to CSCG would be very important. <br><br></div>All the best<span><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888">Renata<br><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></font></span></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 9:06 PM, Deirdre Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:williams.deirdre@gmail.com" target="_blank">williams.deirdre@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear Remmy,<div>It's good to know that we have such vigilant members.</div><div>However in this case your fears are unfounded.</div><div>Ginger, as non-voting Chair of the CSCG, pointed out that Analia's responsibility extended until the close of nominations and the submission of the shortlist.
