[governance] Call for Nominations: 2012 Appeals Team - CORRECTED

[Thomas Lowenhaupt]

Sorry - I'm on my way out for a short vacation and rushed things a bit, 
saying "Fellow Members of the IG*F*" instead of IG*C*.

-------- Corrected Message --------

Fellow Members of the IGC,

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.

    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)
