[governance] IGC nominees for MAG

[Carlos Afonso]

I do hope that, whatever the mechanisms this caucus defines for arriving 
at a list of names, it takes into account the CS regional processes 
(some of which are already going on) for indicating people from the 
regions. I do hope we will finally have a list which is at least truly 
balanced regionally, if not balanced in terms of other criteria.

I am afraid a NomCom, if adopting methods such as the ones of some other 
nomcoms we know, would be the instance to define candidates, instead of 
being a moderator/facilitator of proposals coming from the stakeholders.
