[governance] Final list of nominees send to the Noncom (CSCG)

This is a great discussion, and we all profit from comments that help us
improve selection of CS representatives for global processes. The call for
nominations and CSCG procedures can be found at
http://www.internetgov-cs.org/

Ideally, selection processes would leave enough time for organisations like
the IGC or BB to hold an internal nomination and endorsement procedure, so
that the group could select its preferred nominees, and present a shortlist
to the CSCG or focal point. This year, neither the MAG, nor the CSTD WGEC
processes have allowed enough time for that, so it seems the IGC (as did
the other groups) decided to submit the names of all nominees to the CSCG
for the CSCG NomCom to use as the IGC shortlist.  Each member group (NCSG,
APC, BB, IGC, JNC) has that option http://www.internetgov-cs.org/procedures.
Endorsements made on the IGC list were also sent to the CSCG as additional
information.

CS nominees who are not a member of any of the 5 represented groups sent
their nominations directly to the CSCG.

Endorsements cannot be considered 'votes'--usually they are part of the
discussion process on the list, as the group works toward consensus on a
shortlist. During the CSTD WGEC (current) NomCom endorsements, as positive
or negative comments, have been noted in general, especially if additional
information is required by the NomCom. Nominees are considered on the
information in their nomination application, their known work in CS, and
the overall balance of, in this case, the CS representatives for the WGEC
(region, gender, etc.). The NomCom as a group, or its members, may request
more information on any of the nominees, if needed, to make a decision.

Analia is the representative of the IGC on the CSCG. On the CSTD WGEC
NomCom, she has been replaced by Deirdre Williams, since Analia is a
nominee.

The NomCom is now reviewing the information on all of the nominees (20). We
will share our report, and our submission to Peter Major, and your
representative (in this case Deirdre) will report back to you. Please note
that the NomCom must consider the needs of CS as a whole, and its members
work toward that end.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let the CSCG know. Please
excuse any omissions or errors in this informal post.
Best regards,
Ginger
