[governance] Stepping down as IGC 08 Nomcom chair.

[Lee McKnight]

I also don't see the point of a redo.

We get to do the whole thing over again next year right?

Maybe by then the standards of this all-volunteer global process will meet with everyone's approval (just kidding).

Hi,

I don't think so.

I think it has to do with the time it took to get the response and the  
announcement from UN headquarters and a compromise between giving a  
month a making sure that the list of candidates is obtained in time  
for there to be a new MAG in enough time before the September meeting.

To paraphrase an old expression: I do not think that one should  
attribute to "bloody (internecine and otherwise) struggles going on  
behind curtains" what can better be explained by bureaucracy.

I think it is good that you have your names in early, the earlier the  
better.
