yeah but, we have some experience to go on.

1. i think that reaching out as we did for wgig is a good idea and i  
suggest we dust off the old material and update it and use the same  
process to solicit candidates from throughout CS

2. i think that using a nominating committee is a good idea.
    - but i think this should be constituted before we start  
soliciting nominations for the IGF-MAG.
    - i think volunteers should be people willing to disqualify  
themselves from selection
      for the IGF-MAG
    - i suggest we pick a number, for example 5, as the number for  
the nominating committee
    - i suggest that the call for nominating committee members be  
sent out on the plenary list.
    - i suggest that anyone who wants to volunteer for this submit  
their name and that, assuming we have
      more then 10 people willing to be on a nominating committee and  
thus willing to exclude themselves
      from the IGF-MAG, we use a randomized process to pick the 10  
volunteers from the group.
      this can be done in at least two ways (the extremes are list  
below):
         - a trusted person picks the names out of a hat.
         - we use a process, e.g. the transparent, repeatable process  
to be found in RFC3797
           "Publicly Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random  
Selection"
           found at:
           http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3797.txt
    - i think the nominating committee should have a coordinator -  
who is also disqualified from serving
      on the MAG and who will not have a nominating committee vote in  
selecting the candidates

Note, while i don't think that WGIG members should be disqualified  
from serving on the MAG, i do think we should look beyond these  
regulars and recommend that WGIG members consider volunteering for  
nominating committee selection, if we go this way.


just some thoughts to get us talking about specifics.

a.
