I'm a bitt confused by the email below... Didn't the Nomcom report sent last friday imply that the IGF Nomcom selection of names for the renewed MAG was already complete and submitted to the secretariat? Is the Nomcom process being re-run?
If it is, then I would recommend that all those who either submitted and/or had their names submitted to the Nomcom not need to resubmit their materials. Their materials should be accepted as-is.
Personally, if a nomcom report has been issued - a new process should not be run.2 days notice, in my opinion - is not enough time.
regards
Robert

It is recommended that group nominees be members who have actively participated in IGF meetings and activities in the past.
