>>
>> The Nomcom decided on a set of Selection Criteria after discussion, and

>> Nomcom then weighted all criteria in importance ( giving a weighting
>> between 1 and 10 to each criteria). The weightings are in brackets after
>> the criteria below.  Candidates were then scored with a score between 1
>> and 10 against each criteria.
>>
>> No weightings applied to gender and geographic balance, as this criteria

>> candidates against other criteria were compiled)
>>
>> Note: the scores against criteria were intended as a guide to selection
>> only, to bypass a lot of discussion in our very tight time frames. They
>> did serve to make clear some candidates who were clearly favoured, some
>> who were not, but did leave a group in the middle whose scores were close
>> and whose credentials for inclusion were then compared further,
>> particularly with intentions to achieve better geographic and gender
>> balance.
>>
>> 1. Regular contributor to civil society networks including the IGC (6)
>> 2. Consultative style with members of civil society networks including the
>> IGC (8)
>> 3. Knowledge of/ previous experience with IGF, including remote
>> participation (6.5)
>> 4. Knowledge of the UN system (5)
>> 5. Able to communicate the diverse range of issues, views and perspectives
>>
>> held by civil society.(8.5)
>> 6.Able to devote the time, resources and effort necessary to contribute
>> constructively to MAG deliberations (9)
>> 7. Willing and able to report and update civil society networks including
>> the IGC on issues and progress (8)
>>
>> 8. Gender and geographic balance
>>
>> All Nomcom members provided scores against at least some of the
>> candidates. 4 of 5 Nomcom members provided scores for all candidates, an
>> exceptionally good result given the tight timeframes involved.
>>
>> Considering these scores, Nomcom members then decided on a final slate
>> reflecting as best possible some natural differences of emphasis to come
>> to a mutual recommendation. Several members expressed some disappointment
>> that the range and communicated attributes of those nominated made
>> achieving balance very difficult. In particular, more women as candidates
>> and more candidates from regions we were not able to represent would have
>> been very welcome. This may partially be a factor of the very limited
>> timeframe under which we operated – however, it would have been even more
>> limited had the co –coordinators not taken the initiative to call for
>> candidates while the Nomcom was being formed.
>>
>> I must as non voting Chair thank the Nomcom members for their dedicated
>> work, a not inconsiderable effort to decide on criteria and assess
>> candidates in this limited timeframe. They really did good work on your
>> behalf.
