[governance] Stepping down as IGC 08 Nomcom chair.

[Meryem Marzouki]

I must disagree here. We have an unexpected opportunity to make our  
process more transparent and compliant with out own charter. We can't  
afford leaving room to disputes if this is avoidable.
What I propose is the following:

- We keep the same nomcom (it has been constituted in an appropriate  
manner)
- The nomcom will publish all the nominees application, according to  
IGC charter (if needed, the comcom could take some days to inform all  
candidates that they have a 2-3 days deadline to change anything in  
their details, since they would be made public. Obviously, the nomcom  
should make its selection on the basis of the public information only)
- We should have a quick discussion on the number of selected  
candidates (is 15 fine?)
- The nomcom internally discuss its previous choice: confirmed,  
adjusted, etc.
- The selection is published
- The selection is sent to the secretariat

Best,
Meryem
