Sala,

It¹s not improper for the IGC to support nominees submitted by other
organisations, or positions advocated by other organisations. The Nomcom is
only responsible for submitting and deciding on IGC nominees ­ I am not
suggesting at all that we change that or add additional names to IGC
nominations. I agree that would be improper. However I don¹t see why we
shouldn¹t express support for nominees of other organisations.

The only reason we are discussing this at all is because of some sort of
administrative stuff up that I don¹t understand yet.  I appreciate that the
Nomcom has attempted to make amends at the last moment but the simple fact
is that due to some process issue some very good names were not considered.

Those good names of civil society people have been forwarded anyway. I think
it is proper to indicate to the powers that be that we are supportive of
those names being considered in addition to those IGC submitted,
particularly in the circumstance where the number of names submitted by IGC
is less than the number of vacancies that are out there to be filled.

Ian

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withdrawn its list of candidates from the NomCom and the NomCom should only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,
