>>
>>      
>>
>>     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.
