AW: [governance] Fwd: MAG and CSTD WG meetings

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Hi
 
just to add one point: 
 
In ICANNs NomCom we made a difference between citizenship and residence and it was up to the candidate to select whether he wanted to be treated on citizenship or residence.
 
In the Case of Bill Drake - I strongly support his nomination - I think he should be treated as European. He lives in Europe since more than ten years. He was a member of the Board of EURALO. He was invited as a European expert by the Council of Europe and he teaches at the University of Zürich and in the European Summer School on Internet Governnace.
 
Best wishes
 
wolfgang

Hi Bill, 

You are right. We presented APC's nominations to the NomCom for consideration on Jan 20th.

	My thanks to the nomcom for including me.  Of course, since IGC and APC both nominated me three times prior, there's obviously no guarantee that UN NY will change its apparent practice of reserving any slots for US citizens for TC and business, but it's nice to be nominated anyway.

		I may be wrong, but I seem not to have seen the kind of openness (proactive and not just formal), transparency, out-reach effort etc that is required for the nomination/ election activity. 


	I agree with others there should be clearer procedures and reporting requirements for IGC's nomcoms, as there are inter alia for ICANN's.  This has been a recurrent issue not only with the selection of MAG candidates, but also the WGIGF and if I recall correctly WGIG...


		Things like: we need to make repeated calls for nomination, encourage people to nominate themselves and others, 


	There were messages on the list from Jacqueline, Sala, I believe Izumi, maybe others...?  Maybe more of an ongoing thread would have been desirable....


		pulbicize the process and perhaps the list of nomcom members as well, make active out reach to various CS entities inviting nomination, keeping the list posted of all developments, ......


	Sure

		
		For instance, APC I am sure will forward its own slate of names to the IGF secretariat. They should have been invited to submit their nominees for IGC nomcom's consideration as well (and this has happened in the past). 


	Valeria can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe APC did submit these to IGC and report them on the list.  They included 

	Africa:  Anriette Esterhuysen, Association for Progressive Communications, South Africa
	Asia: Shahzad Ahmad, BytesForAll, Pakistan
	LAC: Magaly Pazello, Center on Communication and Emergence, Brazil; Carlos Afonso, Instituto Nupef, Brazil
	North America and Europe: William Drake, University of Zurich, Switzerland; David Souter, ict Development Associates, United Kingdom

	Speaking of transparency, it would also be nice to have some idea how UN NY makes its selections, but we've been saying that for six years to no end...

	Best,

	Bill
