[governance] RE: Guidance sought on CSTD nominations and

[Mawaki Chango]

I have to agree with Milton here. I don't read this necessarily as
nominating candidates on behalf of other stakeholder groups. The request,
IMHO, is that three of our nominees qualify as being from the "technical
community." Although IGC is meant to address public policy issues and to
advance somewhat a social agenda, we know it's not exclusive of the
technical community and many people among us have more than one profile in
relation to IG, including a technical one.

If CSTD wanted to have nominees from structures such as ISOC or IETF as
stakeholder groups, those structures are even more formally organized than
us and I'm sure CSTD would have just sent them a request directly. I don't
believe the fact that IGC emerged during WSIS is reason for any UN body to
communicate only with us as CS group and not to other potential CS/
technical stakeholders. So my interpretation is the same as Milton's, and
this would not mean that we are not reaching out (again there are people
among us who are ISOC, IETF or former IETF members, etc.).
