[WSIS CS-Plenary] recent nominations

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Hi, everybody,

we have received quite a few new nominations before the deadline last 
night. Most of these nominations contain only names but no further 
information about the candidates. I am afraid names don't provide enough 
of a basis for evaluating these candidates.

I've included in this mail again the description of the nomination 
process as proposed by Adam Peake in early Semptember. While the 
deadline for nominations has passed it is still possible to send in more 
details regarding the candidates.

best regards, jeanette



Please follow the format described below and send to this address:

<igov at tla.crepundia.net>

We will collate all nominations.

Please also send to the civil society plenary list if you wish, but 
suggest you strip any personal contact information before doing so.

The format below only asks for information about the caucus or working 
group submitting the nomination(s), we should also have something about 
any individual making a nomination: who you are, your relationship with 
the nominee (typical conflict of interest issues.) This will not be 
necessary for a self-nomination :-)


Format for submitting nomination(s)

In making your caucuses/working groups recommendation, we request that 
you submit the following information, which will be passed on to Mr. 
Kummer, with the names of the candidates. Individual members of the CS 
plenary may also submit nominations. Individuals should also submit 
their nominations based on the criteria explained below.

- Reliable contact information for the candidate; i.e. email, telephone, 
fax and postal address.

- A statement indicating the qualities that the person would bring to 
the WGIG.  While no particular content is being required, it is 
recommended that this section include a discussion of the concerns 
mentioned above and a discussion of the experience and perspective the 
candidate would bring to the WGIG discussions.

- A statement of the person's governance related affiliations.  That is 
information such as: which sector does the person belong to (government, 
industry or civil society), what caucuses/working groups do they 
participate in, employer, national background, and language skills.

- An indication from the candidate that they understand the work load 
they are volunteering for and that they are available during the 
expected period of deliberations.

- A short statement about your caucus/working group. Include information 
about the group's background and history, membership (numbers), and 
achievements or other information you think relevant. Please give a URL 
for a website if you have one.

It is recommended that these statements be no more then two pages in 
length. Candidate information will be collated and published on the 
Internet <http://www.too-much.tv/internet_governance/> (with candidates 
personal contact information removed.)
