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.
