[governance] igc nomcom and other lists

[Renate Bloem]

Hi Jeannette and Avri,

As someone who is only observing this list, I was very impressed by process
so far, particularly also by Avri's well organized time frame around it. My
question: why should this nomcom only be an IGC nomcom and not include other
CS groupings?

In my experience with nomcoms of all kinds, participants clearly state that
they are not looking for nomination. Should they as voluntary participants
suddenly receive great pressure to stand for being nominated, they have to
immediately resign from the nomcom.

Best
Renata

I think I agree with your first reaction. What matters is that the 
nomcom doesn't select itself or am I missing something? We should also 
welcome if caucus members are nominated by other constituencies.
