[WSIS CS-Plenary] TR: List of volunteers for NomCom

Wed Nov 21 19:00:08 GMT 2007

Dear all, 

This is to announce that the list of volunteers for the NomCom is now
finalized and blocked. 

We received so far 23 volunteers, which are listed in the order received
below and at http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=news
<http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=news&id=10463> &id=10463. 

The random selection process would take place later tonight, as described in
the second part of this e-mail. I think we can still go with 23 volunteers

Anyway, we still need more nominations

Best,

• Names of volunteers are sorted numerically in the order they were received
at  <mailto:wsis at ngocongo.org> wsis at ngocongo.org. Before the volunteering
period is over, if errors are noted or if a volunteer removes his or
herself, the list will be fixed so that there are no empty lines.
However, the sorted list of volunteers and their sorting number will be
finalized and frozen on 20 November 2007, 24:00.

• The random selection process will be established on the randomizing
RFC3797 program.
The random seeds will be based on the following lottery drawings (main draws
only, not the bonus numbers) taking place on 21 November 2007:

        - Ireland 
        - England
        - US

• The random process will produce an ordered list of numbers. The names of
volunteers randomly selected for the CS Nom Com will be determined according
to the number which is attributed to them. The 5 first valid volunteers
corresponding to the first numbers of the list will serve for the CS Nom
Com.

Ex: If the ordered list of numbers is e.g. 15, 3, 23, 21, 5, 6, 4; volunteer
#15 will be the first selected. If volunteer #3 has removed his or herself
or is not available, the second volunteer to be selected will be volunteer
#23... etc until we have 5 acting Nom Com members.
