>> 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.
