[governance] IGC Nomcom results and final report

Wed Nov 27 09:24:18 EST 2013

Dear Ian, all

Thanks for a good work done under strict conditions in an urgent manner.
Considering the fact that a lot of collaboration has gone on in this year's MAG nominations, please permit me to say that it is an achievement.

Thank you Ian, thank you nomcom people. Thank you to other could-have-been nominees.

Is it possible to being now to gather new issues on the MAG? So that whoever is retained will at least know how best to tackle things.

Best regards

Nnenna

to the IGF Secretariat

random selection process from a pool of 25 volunteers, were

Kerry Brown
Shaila Mistry
David Cake
Jefsey Morfin

Ian Peter was non-voting Chair.

PROCESS
Given the short time frame available, IGC Co-ordinators 
called for nominations on line prior to the Nomcom being formed. In order to 
encourage more nominations, the Nomcom announced it would continue to receive 
nominations until midnight UTC Thursday November 21.
The following nominations were received within the 
advertised period (one nomination was less than an hour late and was accepted by 
the Nomcom) 
Nnenna 
Nwakanma *
Bertrand 
de la Chappelle*
Stuart 
Hamilton*
Sonigitu 
Ekpe*
Matthew 
Shears*
Mawaki 
Chango*
Mishi Choudhary
Asif Kabani
Rudi Vansnick
Imran Ahmed Shah
Fouad Bajwa

The Nomcom also emailed all existing civil society 
members of the MAG, asking whether they would like their names to be put forward 
for endorsement by the IGC Nomcom. Responses were received from (some before our 
emails)

Anriette Esterhuysen * 
William 
Drake *
Izumi Aizu  *
Fatima 
Cambronero *
Lillian Nalwoga

In both categories, those with an asterisk after their 
name are our recommendations.

PROCESS

The Nomcom decided on a set of Selection Criteria after 
discussion, and advised these on the IGC list. The criteria are mentioned below. 
The 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 was applied in arriving at a final slate after weighted average 
scores for 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.

Ian Peter
Non voting chair
