[governance] A process suggestion for IGF nominations

[Gurstein, Michael]

I'll volunteer as well but only because to this point I haven't seen
anything of interest coming out concerning the Global Alliance where I
would have thought my efforts would be better placed.  
 
However, if nothing concerning the Global Alliance does emerge or if it
does develop as I have heard some rumours, in the form of the same old
same old i.e. son of DOTForce, ICT Task Force etc.etc. then I would look
to introduce the issues that are of concern to the folks with whom I'm
in communication into the IGF.  
 
(and in this context I've just returned from a meeting of the European
Union of Telecottage Associations where some 20 or so networks of
national telecottage (viz. telecentre) associations (primarily from
Central and Eastern Europe but also including Russia and Central Asia)
were represented and where broad issues of ICT deployment particularly
in rural areas as an aspect of overall national development were very
much on the agenda for discussion...

I will volunteer for the nomcom as well. If not selected for the Nomcom
via random means, I would like to be a North American representative on
the MAG, but it is I think serious participants in the caucus to take
the obligation for the caucus to function seriously enough to get their
priorities straight. 



Seems like a bit of civic duty, I'll volunteer. Like jury duty, hope I'm
not picked!

I need to think a bit more about the advisory group, I'm interested,
problem might be finding time. But I don't particularly like the idea of
regional representation (for myself at least.)

I just discussed this with a colleague here at Syracuse and I think he
intends to volunteer too.
