[governance] Re: [nomcom] Re: APC's Application

Dear All,

The selection is purely something for the NomCom to do without interference
from any of us. Hence the decision to review or add names must be their
decision solely and this is to preserve some level of independence. Once
the NomCom makes the selection, the recommendations are then put forward by
the IGC through the coordinators the Secretariat. In this case, one of the
Coordinators is a nominee nad has recused himself from dealing with this
administrative issue.

For the IGC to indicate to the Secretariat support of APC's list of
Nominees would be improper unless the APC list was within the basket of
nominees that they were considering and decide on their own accord that
they accept the candidates and list them with other nominees. In this
instance, APC has withdrawn its list of candidates from the NomCom and the
NomCom should only review the list of candidates within its current basket.

Yes I agree that when the air is clearer, we can then discuss ways we can
improve the processes etc.

Kind Regards,
