[governance] Criteria for selection of Appeal Team

[Jeremy Malcolm]

As Ian recently noted, I have stepped in as Chair of the Nomcom to  
select a new IGC Appeals Team.  The other members of the Nomcom are  
Gao Mosweu, Solomon Gizaw, Thomas Lowenhaupt, and Anriette Esterhuysen.

Here are the criteria that we propose to apply to nominees seeking  
appointment to the Appeals Team.  They are the same as used last  
year.  Please provide your comments on these criteria, if any, by 18  
December 2008, on around which date we will then make a call for  
nominees.

Many thanks.

Criteria for CS IGC Appeals Team

A) Qualified IGC member
Appeals team should be Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (CS  
IGC) members.

Anyone who have subscribed to the IGC Charter and subscribed to the  
IGC caucus mailing list for 2 months prior to the announcement of the  
appeals team Nomcom process is eligible to be a candidate. (The Nomcom  
process started on 7 September 2008.)

B) Qualifications
Nomcom will primarily select persons based on their knowledge and  
experience of issues faced by the caucus and their neutrality.

The successful candidate should be a person with thoughtful and  
unbiased consideration and have a stated (and demonstrated) commitment  
to consultation and dialogue with the community.

C) Diversity and balance
Appeal Team collectively should have good diversity and balance. The  
attributes to be considered include, but not limited to:
- Geographic and cultural diversity
- Gender
- Age
- Skill set and knowledge
- Disability

These will be treated as a goal, but not as the absolute requirement.

D) Others
To avoid capture, no more than one employee/representative of a  
particular organization should serve on the Appeal Team at any given  
time.
