From: "Izumi AIZU" Date: 10 januari 2007 00.33.35 EST To: governance@lists.cpsr.org Subject: [governance] Call for Nomination to Appeal Team Dear List, Here is the Call fr Nomination. I hope we will find many good candidates and give headache to us to choose from. We tried to make it as simple as possible, but may have some room to refine. Again, please send your question or comments to the list. izumi Call for Nomination to Appeal Team Jan 9 2006 From Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (CS IGC) Appeal Team Nomcom  Bret Fausett, Milton Mueller, Maja Andjelkovic, Adam Peake, Ralf Bendrath, Izumi Aizu (non-voting Chair) Following our charter, we like to call for nomination to the Members of the Appeal Team. (http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html ).
 We need to select five (5) IGC members. To reach high quality members, we like to have more than 10 nominations as a minimum target. Please send your nomination by Jan 21. If we don't get 10 nominations by then, we "may" extend the deadline for another week or so though that will be decided by Nomcom (with consultation with the list, of course). We will announce the result by January 31. Appeal Team function 
The work of Appeal Team is, as the name suggests, a kind of work like judges in the court: When more than 4 individual members find the decision of our two coordinators (now Parminder and Vittorio) not acceptable they can bring the matter to the Appeals Team with their co-signed statement. In other words, if things are going all OK, there is no work for Appeal Team. When a decision is appealed, however, the appeals team should review any discussions that occurred and will request comments from the IGC membership. Based on the information they collect and discussion, they will decide on the merit of the appeal. Qualifications 
Nomcom has proposed that Appeals team should be Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (CS IGC) members. More specifically, anyone who have subscribed to the IGC Charter and subscribed to the IGC caucus mailing list for 2 months prior to the announcement of the appeals team Nomcom process is eligible to be a candidate. (The Nomcom process started on November 20th 2006, so anyone who has been the member since before September 21 is eligible). Naturally, two coordinators are NOT eligible. All Nomcom members including the non-voting Chair are also not eligible.  We expect that the successful candidate should be a person with thoughtful and unbiased consideration and have a stated (and demonstrated) commitment to consultation and dialogue with the community.  How to nominate 
Any CS-IGC member qualified to above conditions can make the nomination.  
Nomination should be submitted to the IGC list by the end of January 21 2006, UTC. Self nomination will be accepted. It is recommended to have a second support expressed by other IGC member(s) that will add more weight for the selection. People who are nominated are kindly requested to submit their statement to accept the nomination and indicate their commitment to consultation and dialogue with the community.  For the CS IGC Charter, please see: http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html END ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: governance@lists.cpsr.org To be removed from the list, send any message to: governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org For all list information and functions, see: http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/governance
