Thinking about all of the comments that have been made about this selection
process I've been wondering how things might be managed on another occasion
in the future.
This time there was a long nomination period, which resulted in nothing
happening at the beginning and a flurry of nominations in the last two or
three days.
Instead of that how about having a stipulated fairly short period - 3 to 5
days or is that too short? - for nominations only, the nominations to be
sent directly to the CSCG. After that deadline the whole list of
nominations could be circulated among the CSCG's members with a request for
expressions of support. This period would also have a deadline, after which
the nomcom would be in a good position to make an informed selection of the
necessary number of civil society representatives. The current process may
present some danger of seeing nominees as "belonging to" one of the 5
member groups of CSCG because that is the way that the initial nomination
happens currently. If the nominations are made directly to CSCG, and
everyone has a chance to comment on all nominees then this possibility is
averted.
What do other people think? Remember, this is speculation about a
hypothetical selection in the future, NOT about the process currently
underway.
Best wishes
Deirdre
