The NOMCOM was constituted and convened shortly after the UN issued the call for MAG candidates on 4 January, and worked through the month of January. A call for applications was issued on 8 January,
2016. Applications from thirty-two people were received, and then considered. In addition, the NOMCOM solicited for, and received applications from members of the MAG who represent the Internet Technical Community and wished to be renewed. In making our
selection, the NOMCOM took into account the individuals’ abilities and accomplishments, as well as both gender and regional diversity. The NOMCOM considered the need for continuity within the MAG when examining those candidates wishing to continue as MAG
members, and particularly the criteria that can be found at internetcollaboration.org.
The NOMCOM would like to thank all applicants for their applications and willingness to devote time to this important process.
The members of the Internet Technical Collaboration Group NOMCOM for
2016 were:
• Carolina Aguerre
• Adiel Akplogan
• Jane Coffin
• Nigel Hickson
