[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: [governance] Répondre: [WSIS CS-Plenary] List of Nominees being considered by IGC Nomcom

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I like the idea of being flexible and try to be whenever I can.

I have two problems with accepting the 3 late nominations I have  
received (it is not a matter of just the one from ACSIS) that go  
beyond a notion of being strict about deadlines.

- I have no way of knowing how many people might have thought about  
applying on the 14th, seen the deadline and decided that they were  
too late, and hence not applied.  It would not be fair to those who  
may have reacted this way to the deadline to now accept new  
nominations without reopening nominations.  And given the tight  
schedule (decision due on Tuesday 18 April), reopening nominations  
would be impossible.

- The members of the IGC nomcom are well along in their  
deliberations.  Giving due consideration on an equal basis to the new  
nominees would be extremely difficult if not impossible.

thanks
a.
