The NCUC Executive Committee decided today to develop a list of recommended names for the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). For background info about WGIG, see http://www.itu.int/wsis/preparatory2/wgig/index.html This is a very high-level international committee that requires seasoned, experienced members who are diplomatic, knowledgable, and capable of working in an intensely politicized environment. We'd like to get a list of 10 favored names, 2 from each ICANN geographic region. Of the two names for each region, one should be especially good in the policy/human dimensions and the other in the technical dimension. The EC will take the list of nominations and winnow it down to a list of 10. It will then publish the results for comment. If it seems accepted, then the list will be forwarded to Markus Kummer; if legitimate objections are made or omissions identified, we will try again. We need initial responses in ten days. If you put a name forward, please give us information about the person to follow up.
