And the larger problem is something we can address is a subset of the 
caucus and others who might be interested, or something that should 
be discussed on the caucus list?

I'm basically asking what is the larger problem!

Also, as I know there are probably people not interested in the 
caucus' internal concerns, should this list (which has been dead for 
about 9 months) be used in this way?  It's not being used for 
anything else.

>>  Hi,
>>
>>  If this list is still alive (find out in a moment) it might be the
>>  place to begin discussing amendments to the caucus nomcom procedures.
>>
>>  Some information that might be helpful:
>>
>>  Caucus website <http://www.igcaucus.org/>
>>
>>  Caucus charter <http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-charter_final-061014.html>
>>
>>  Current nomcom process <http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.html>,
>>  and as it's the focus, copied below.
>>
>>  The charter says:
>>
>>  "All nominations to external bodies, e.g., the IGF multistakholder
>>  advisory group, will be made using a randomly selected nomcom process
>>  as defined in <http://www.igcaucus.org/nomcom-process.html>"
>>
>>  And the nomcom process:
>>
>>  "Randomly selected nominating committee
>>
>>  In an effort to foster full inclusion in the process of selecting the
>>  appeals board and any other appointments the IGC may make other then
>>  the election of coordinators, a nominating committee process will be
>>  used. A nominating committee will be composed of 5 IGC members
>>  selected at random according to the process documented in RFC3797.
>>
>>  NomCom Process Details:
>>
>>  1. Whenever possible a call for volunteers for a nominating committee
>>  (nomcom) will be posted 2 months before the scheduled selection of
>>  appeals team or selection of any other list of nominees needs to be
>>  decided.
>>
>>  One month will be used to constitute the nomcom and determine the
>>  criteria for the selections they are to make, and one month will be
>>  used to discuss and decide on candidates.
>>
>>  2. At least 25 volunteers, i.e. 5 volunteers for each nomcom seat,
>>  are required for running the random process.
>>
>>  3. A non voting chair will be appointed by the coordinators for each
>>  nomcom with the advice of the IGC membership. In order to serve as a
>>  chair, it is recommended that a person has served in at least one
>>  nomcom previously.
>>
>>  4. All nomcom participants, voting and non voting, will be
>>  disqualified from selection as candidates for the list or team being
>>  chosen. Members of the current appeals team will also be disqualified
>>  from being chosen.
>>
>>  5. Criteria used by nomcom will be made public and will be reviewed
>>  by the caucus whenever possible before decisions are made
>>
>>  6. All candidates reviewed by nomcom will be made public as will
>>  their applications and other information
>>
>>  7. The nomcom chair will put out a report after the selection giving
>>  a description of the internal processes used in the selection.
>>
>>  8. Each nomcom will be selected for a specific decision and will be
>>  disbanded after the decision is made.
>>
>>  9. There is no limit on the number of nomcoms an individual may serve on."
>>
>>
>>  I suggest that discussion focus on a process for recommending names
>>  for the MAG. Remembering the caucus cannot appoint or select, it can
>>  only recommend.  That the MAG rotation process may change.
>>
>>  If members of the most recent nomcom are not members of this list
>>  (hope it works...) suggest they are invited to join.
