[governance] NomCom for the Appeals Team: Selection process; request for advice

[Norbert Bollow]

[IGC Coordinator hat on]

Dear all

Following up from Sala's recent posting...

Five voting NomCom members plus two reserves will be randomly selected 
from the pool of volunteers. In addition, the NomCom needs a non-voting
chairperson. The charter says about this: “A non voting chair will be
appointed by the coordinators for each nomcom with the advice of the IGC
membership. In order to serve as a chair, it is recommended that a
person has served in at least one nomcom previously.”

Consequently, we hereby invite the Internet Governance Caucus membership
to give advice on who would be a good chairperson for the NomCom. Please
give your advice by Thursday May 23.


The remainder of this message announces the details of the random
selection process that will be used, so that it will be possible to
verify afterwards that this process was not manipulated.

The selection will be carried out by means of the reference program code
"Publicly Verifiable Random Selection" from RFC 3797 [1], as downloaded
from [2]. The file pvrs-0.3.tgz has SHA-1 hash [3]
bf68909204174dbb3a9b76b3fc6392b6576fb5f1. The random seed will consist
of the seven numbers of the Wednesday May 22 Lotto draw of the
UK National Lottery [4] (the six "ball numbers" and the number of the
"bonus ball", entered together).
