[governance] Fwd: [Mmwg] Caucus nomcom

[Adam Peake]

Hi,

I just sent email about revising the caucus nomcom procedures to the 
old "Multistakeholder Modalities WG".   I don't remember the exact 
purpose of the Mmwg, but it seems a reasonable place to hold a 
discussion about the nomcom.

Anyone interested in revising the nomcom procedures and not already 
subscribed to the mmwg list, you can join by:

<http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mmwg>,
or
<mailto:mmwg-request at wsis-cs.org?subject=subscribe>

(same info, plus open archive address in header below.)

Thanks,

Adam

>Hi,
>
>If this list is still alive (find out in a moment) it might be the
>place to begin discussing amendments to the caucus nomcom procedures.
>
>Some information that might be helpful:
>
>Caucus website <http://www.igcaucus.org/>
>
>Caucus charter <http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html>
>
>Current nomcom process <http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.html>,
>and as it's the focus, copied below.
>
>The charter says:
>
>"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>"
>
>And the nomcom process:
>
>"Randomly selected nominating committee
>
>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.
>
>NomCom Process Details:
>
>1. Whenever possible a call for volunteers for a nominating committee
>(nomcom) will be posted 2 months before the scheduled selection of
>appeals team or selection of any other list of nominees needs to be
>decided.
>
>One month will be used to constitute the nomcom and determine the
>criteria for the selections they are to make, and one month will be
>used to discuss and decide on candidates.
>
>2. At least 25 volunteers, i.e. 5 volunteers for each nomcom seat,
>are required for running the random process.
>
>3. A non voting chair will be appointed by the coordinators for each
>nomcom with the advice of the IGC membership. In order to serve as a
>chair, it is recommended that a person has served in at least one
>nomcom previously.
>
>4. All nomcom participants, voting and non voting, will be
>disqualified from selection as candidates for the list or team being
>chosen. Members of the current appeals team will also be disqualified
>from being chosen.
>
>5. Criteria used by nomcom will be made public and will be reviewed
>by the caucus whenever possible before decisions are made
>
>6. All candidates reviewed by nomcom will be made public as will
>their applications and other information
>
>7. The nomcom chair will put out a report after the selection giving
>a description of the internal processes used in the selection.
>
>8. Each nomcom will be selected for a specific decision and will be
>disbanded after the decision is made.
>
>9. There is no limit on the number of nomcoms an individual may serve on."
>
>
>I suggest that discussion focus on a process for recommending names
>for the MAG. Remembering the caucus cannot appoint or select, it can
>only recommend.  That the MAG rotation process may change.
>
>If members of the most recent nomcom are not members of this list
>(hope it works...) suggest they are invited to join.
