> 10. The Nomcom will set appropriate procedures for making its selections. Unless circumstances suggest otherwise, the selection should begin with a shortlisting process, which will assist in identifying candidates who best fit the criteria. Following the shortlisting, Nomcom members will select the final candidates, using online exchanges and if necessary conference linkups.
> 11. All members of the Nomcom are required to consider the interests of civil society as a whole in determining appropriate representatives.
> 12. All Nomcoms will take into account geographic and gender balance in determining their final selections, while considering also the need for the breadth of viewpoints/worldviews represented within civil society to be represented. While complete balance may not be possible for every selection, CSCG NonCom members need to take into account current/standing civil society representations in making selections, with an objective of achieving balance over a period of time.
