>> Fellow Members of the IGF,
>>
>> With “Governance” a key word in our Civil Society Internet Governance
>> Caucus, the selection of an Appeals Team is an important part of our
>> responsibilities. This email begins the process of creating a new Appeals
>> Team. As per the IGC Charter <http://www.igcaucus.org/charter>, the role
>> of the Appeals Team is:
>>
>> “Any time 4 individual members of the IGC co-sign a statement on the main
>> IGC mailing list they can appeal any decision of the coordinators. When a
>> decision is appealed, the appeals team will review any discussions that
>> occurred and will request comments from the IGC membership. Based on the
>> information they collect and discussion, they will decide on the merit of
>> the appeal."
>>
>> "Decisions by the appeals team are based on a majority vote of the appeal
>> team, i.e., three (3) or more votes, except in the case of coordinator
>> recall which requires full consensus. The decision of the appeals team will
>> be final on every decision reviewed.”
>>
>> “An appeals team of five (5) IGC members will be formed. The appeals
>> board will be selected yearly by a randomly selected nominating committee
>> as defined here. <http://igcaucus.org/appeals-team> Coordinators are not
>> qualified to be members of the appeals team.”
>>
>> Thus the members of the Appeals Team serve a vital role in maintaining
>> the integrity of the IGC's efforts.
>>
>> This letter calls for nominees – self or otherwise – for a new Appeals
>> Team. Nominations shall be received by midnight, June 24, 2012 GMT.
>>
>> Nominees will be contacted to verify their interest in the position and
>> to submit background information that will help the NomCom make a decision
>> as to its membership. The NomCom will review the nominees and render its
>> decision by July 15, 2012.
>>
>> To assure full and timely distribution of nominations, they should be
>> sent to the NomCom Chair via TomL at communisphere.com, and to each NomCom
>> voting member using the Cc. addresses in the heading area of this email.
>> [NOTE: The Nominating Committee member email addresses provided below.]
>>
>> We look forward to your participation in this important activity.
>>
>> On behalf of the Appeals Team Nominating Committee: Asif Kabani, Hakikur
>> Rahman, Naveed-ul-Haq, Shahid Uddin Akbar, and Wilson Abigaba.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Thomas Lowenhaupt (non-voting chair)
