[governance] Updates on MAG Nominations 2013

Tue Jan 8 04:29:07 EST 2013

Dear All,

This is to confirm that there is an Appeal Request underfoot that needs 4
to co-sign for it to reach the Appeal Team. The Appeal Team details can be
found http://igcaucus.org/appeals-team

Given that the deadline to submit names to UNDESA is on 20th January, 2013,
we have created an additional question in relation to nominations for MAG
members using the Ballot e voting mechanism. Whilst the IGC election of the
coordinators will close on the 18th January, 2013, we will be harvesting
the nominations for MAG on the 12th January, 2013 and write to these
nominees to ask whether they accept the nominations and request them to
submit their details in the prescribed templates to a designated email
address by the 14th January, 2013. We will be preparing a designated email
address where nominations for MAG members will be received.

In the event that the Appeal Team are to review the Request, the work in
gathering the nominations will not be impeded.

In the meantime, I have asked Thomas Lowenhaupt to preside as Independent
Non Voting Chair of the existing NomCom and note that Hakikur and Naveed
had recused themselves from the NomCom.

Thank you all for your patience.

Kind Regards,
Sala
