[governance] IGC Nomcom - Slate of candidates

[Michael Gurstein]

As per Meryem's request below please find my brief bio and Statement.

Best to all and thanks to the NomCom for their overall efforts.

Please note that if selected I would see my responsibilities both in the
context of reporting from and to the IGC but also from and to grassroots
ICT4D practitioners, through the context of the Global Telecentre Alliance;
and through a current involvement with a variety of Indigenous Peoples ICT
organizations and initiatives.

Yes, we did, and we had this information before the nomcom started  
its work last time:
http://www.wsis-cs.org/igfnominees.shtml
This page shows the list of nominees the previous NomCom has  
considered, with their bios, their statement of intent, their  
endorsements, etc. The http://www.nomadicity.net/IGC-candidates-for- 
IGF-MAG.html page only shows the nominees selected by former IGC nomcom.

I think it matters a lot, actually, in terms of IGC internal  
transparency and accountability. And since the current nomcom rightly  
asked, in its call for nominations and among other requirements, for:

"4. Those who are already on the MAG may also briefly mention about  
how they carried out their responsibilities in the last two terms, in  
advocating and pushing the wider CS positions, and IGC’s positions.  
Their level and manner of engagement with the IGC, and the wider CS  
constituencies, may also be mentioned.",

I would be interested, as an IGC member, in reading such brief  
reports from concerned nominees, especially since I see from the  
nomcom results that some of them have been selected again. These  
information will certainly be provided in the nomcom report, although  
concerned nomineeds would have shown some consideration to the IGC by  
posting these information to the list.

Best,
Meryem
