[governance] IGC nomcom process and results

[Qusai Al-Shatti]

Dear All:
I think according to the charter, The last point under the working method heading states:
" All nominations to external bodies, e.g., the IGF multistakholder advisory group, will be made using a randomly selected nomcom process as defined in http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.html."

The "nomcom-process.html" states the following in the first prargraph:
" In an effort to foster full inclusion in the process of selecting the appeals board and any other appointments the IGC may make other then the election of coordinators, a nominating committee process will be used. A nominating committee will be composed of 5 IGC members selected at random according to the process documented in RFC3797."

In the same page (nomcom-process.html), point 6 under the heading "NomCom Process Details" states:
"6. All candidates reviewed by nomcom will be made public as will their applications and other information"

It means that to comply with the IGC charter nomcom process, the candidates details and information should be made public to the caucus members (this not limited to the appeals committe process only). During the last nomination process in 2006, the nomcom complied with this point and actually published the candidates details immediately after the nomination deadline. This time, the nomcom unitl now did not comply with this point. 

So I would say that for the sake of complying with the charter and having a valid nomination process, candidates details should be made public accordingly.

Again thanks for the nomcom members for their time and effort and congratulations for all my colleagues in the IGC who were selected by the nomcom wishing that the civil society representation will increase in the next advisory group.

Regards,

Qusai Al-Shatti
