[governance] A process suggestion for IGF nominations

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

Dear all,

I appreciate Milton's and Adam's comments. It is indeed a form of civic duty
and I also volunteer for the NomCom, although I am interested in the MAG.

Avri's comment in a prliminary mail was as usual right on spot : "even
people who might be willing to serve on the MAG should volunteer for the
nomcom pool and trust that fate, or chance, will put you in the job you can
do the most good in".

Without making it a compulsory rule, it is probaly something that should be
encouraged : anybody contemplating participating in the MAG should ideally
previously volunteer for the NomCom. Not doing so would only mean they are
more eager to get the - supposedly - prestigious status rather than the more
humble - and somewhat likely to be under fire - one.

Best

Bertrand
