[governance] Conclusion and Notice to nominees/ Was IGC Nomcom results and final report

Thu Nov 28 20:09:54 EST 2013

Dear All,

Having landed yesterday and still recovering from some jet lag, I am now attending to some urgent Caucus matters. Firstly, Happy thanksgiving to all our American colleagues on this list and we have much to be thankful for.

NomCom MAG candidates and volunteers

Many thanks for your willingness to participate and offer your services. We remain grateful and thankful that you were willing to put yourself out there. There will be many more opportunities in the future. To those who were selected by the NomCom, congratulations.  

Whilst we will put your names forward as IGC Nominees, I ask that if and when you do get selected to the MAG to not forget communicating with diverse civil society networks, keep them updated and involved just as others who have gone before you have been doing. Remember that as voices in the MAG you carry a stewardship role of stewarding diverse civil society voices into the MAG.

As you fill in your forms to send to the IGF Secretariat, please use this contact address:

NomCom Results and Work

Special thanks to NomCom Non Voting Chair, Ian Peter and voting members Deirdre Williams, Kerry Brown, Shaila Mistry, David Cake and Jefsey Morfin for the absolutely stellar work in making the selection, liaising with candidates for information and coming to a conclusion. I officially acknowledge receipt of the list of Nominees which will be sent to the IGF Secretariat before 1 December, 2013 via a letter from the IGC.

I can confirm that the coordinators did not interfere with the selection process in anyway both on list and Offlist. Special thanks to Norbert who ran the random selection process by which the names for the NomCom were drawn.

Again, I echo the voices of those who have already commented on Ian Peter's Report. Many thanks! Job superbly executed and the community remains indebted.

Kind Regards,
Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro
(co-coordinator)

> 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.

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.

> 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.
