PROCESS

Given the short time frame available, IGC Co-ordinators called for
nominations on line prior to the Nomcom being formed. In order to encourage
more nominations, the Nomcom announced it would continue to receive
nominations until midnight UTC Thursday November 21.

The following nominations were received within the advertised period (one
nomination was less than an hour late and was accepted by the Nomcom)

Nnenna Nwakanma *

Bertrand de la Chappelle*

Stuart Hamilton*

Sonigitu Ekpe*

Matthew Shears*

Mawaki Chango*

Mishi Choudhary
Asif Kabani
Rudi Vansnick
Imran Ahmed Shah
Fouad Bajwa



The Nomcom also emailed all existing civil society members of the MAG,
asking whether they would like their names to be put forward for
endorsement by the IGC Nomcom. Responses were received from (some before
our emails)



Anriette Esterhuysen *
William Drake *
Izumi Aizu  *
Fatima Cambronero *
Lillian Nalwoga



In both categories, those with an asterisk after their name are our
recommendations.



PROCESS



The Nomcom decided on a set of Selection Criteria after discussion, and
advised these on the IGC list. The criteria are mentioned below. The Nomcom
then weighted all criteria in importance ( giving a weighting between 1 and
10 to each criteria). The weightings are in brackets after the criteria
below.  Candidates were then scored with a score between 1 and 10 against
each criteria.

No weightings applied to gender and geographic balance, as this criteria
was applied in arriving at a final slate after weighted average scores for
candidates against other criteria were compiled)

Note: the scores against criteria were intended as a guide to selection
only, to bypass a lot of discussion in our very tight time frames. They did
serve to make clear some candidates who were clearly favoured, some who
were not, but did leave a group in the middle whose scores were close and
whose credentials for inclusion were then compared further, particularly
with intentions to achieve better geographic and gender balance.

1. Regular contributor to civil society networks including the IGC (6)
2. Consultative style with members of civil society networks including the
IGC (8)
3. Knowledge of/ previous experience with IGF, including remote
participation (6.5)
4. Knowledge of the UN system (5)
5. Able to communicate the diverse range of issues, views and perspectives
held by civil society.(8.5)
6.Able to devote the time, resources and effort necessary to contribute
constructively to MAG deliberations (9)
7. Willing and able to report and update civil society networks including
the IGC on issues and progress (8)

8. Gender and geographic balance

All Nomcom members provided scores against at least some of the candidates.
4 of 5 Nomcom members provided scores for all candidates, an exceptionally
good result given the tight timeframes involved.

Considering these scores, Nomcom members then decided on a final slate
reflecting as best possible some natural differences of emphasis to come to
a mutual recommendation. Several members expressed some disappointment that
the range and communicated attributes of those nominated made achieving
balance very difficult. In particular, more women as candidates and more
candidates from regions we were not able to represent would have been very
welcome. This may partially be a factor of the very limited timeframe under
which we operated – however, it would have been even more limited had the
co –coordinators not taken the initiative to call for candidates while the
Nomcom was being formed.

I must as non voting Chair thank the Nomcom members for their dedicated
work, a not inconsiderable effort to decide on criteria and assess
candidates in this limited timeframe. They really did good work on your
behalf.



Ian Peter

Non voting chair
