Subject: Re: [governance] Nominations for new Co-coordinator

Hello ICG Member,


I did like to use this opportunity to announce my nomination to serve on the IGF MAG. I will be glad if my name could be added to the list for support.


Bellow is my brief description:





My name is Wisdom Donkor, 39 years of age and work with the National Information Technology Agency, Ghana as a specialization engineer in E-government and infrastructure, Internet Governance and Open Government Data, platforms and policies. 



I holds the position of IT Manager and Technical Lead person for Ghana Open Data Initiative Project and also lecture part time at the Ghana Telecom University College (Centre for Professional Development Unit). I was the immediate past Vice General Secretary of the Internet Society Ghana Chapter and currently the National Secretariat Manager of the Information Technology Association of Ghana (ITAG) and also serve as the Secretary (ex-officio) to the Executive Management Committee of which Prof Nii Quaynor is the Chair and President. I have being involve in the IT Industry for over 10 years in areas of ICT Policy development, Internet Governance, Open Government Data, Software Design and Development, Databases and Consolidation, Open Source Software Technologies, Data Divide Privacy and Security, Big Data and analytics, Data Management and technologies, and Human Resource Planning and Development and also consult to many local organisations and has contributed to several ICT projects across Ghana and Abroad.  



I am a very passionate advocate for free open Internet, open government data and open source software technologies. Besides, I have been associated with ICANN as Fellow, coach (mentor) and ICANN Information Booth Lead and Support Staff since ICANN 49,  and have gotten fellowship for 4 meetings out of the last 7 meetings held (ICANN 49, 52, and 54, 55). I have participated, attended and contributed to several Local and international programs such as IGF, ISOC, IETF, ITU, World Bank, The Growth Net of India, USAID, UNDP, Africa Open Data Conference, International Open Data Conference and West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly (WTRA). 





I am an active member of the Open Government Data Working Group, World Bank Africa Open Data working Team, Non Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG), Internet Governance Forum (IGF), Internet Society (ISOC), Diplo Foundation, Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), Ghana IGF Steering Committee, Ghana Open Government Partnership Steering Committee, Linux Accra User Group and does follows several internet governance and Open government data online and mailing list discussions.





I have help and organize several workshop programs on Internet governance related issues, Open Government Data and community engagement development and incubation, Cyber Security and Online Child protection, including the IANA Stewardship transition, ICANN community engagement of which the ICANN Vice President for Africa Pierre Dandjinou and Yaovi Atohoun on several occasion took part. 



I was one of organisers at the 2015 IGF Workshop in Joao Pessoa, Brazil on the topic Internet Governance and Open Government Data Initiative of which the report is readily available on the IGF website. The reason for this workshop was to bring to the attention of IGF, Policy Makers and the general public the linkages between Internet governance and Open Government Data of which policy makers should start considering in the formulation of internet and open data related policies that will help to large extent in the achievement of the Sustainable development goals (SDG’s) adopted by the United Nations.





I am currently the founder of the newly formed African Open Data and Internet Governance Research Foundation Institute and hope to use this foundation through research to bring to the bear some of the issues and what policy makers are missing.



I hope with my nomination, I will bring to bear some of the issues hindering the development of Africa in relation to sustainable job creation and how Internet governance and open government data   can help bridge that gap.







Thanks.

  Carlos, la mayor de las albricias por tu postulación y creo que tu hoja de vida no necesita ser un libro de 1,000 páginas por tus obras te conocemos.

                Amigos hispanohablantes!

                Antes de haber sido elegida como co-coordinadora el año pasado, no tenía conocimiento alguno de las personas que me han votado para desempeñar ese rol, y no soy de las que se caraterizan por aplaudir y menos sobornar (jajaja en Argentina no tenemos plata para eso) por lo cual dictaminar sin fundamento que es antidemocrático o solamente por amiguismo me parece que no tiene fundamento. Los invito a proponerse como co-coordinadores este año ya que es una interesante experiencia de networking y sociedad civil.
                La autonominación consiste simplemente es enviar un mail, señalar su background y porqué les gustaría ser parte del IGC, si tienen dudas o pregutnas con gusto les responderé para animarlos a postular.

                          Dear IGC Folks,

                             As we all know that there is need for new co-coordinator to serve for
                          2016 - 2018. I am nominating myself and willing to serve as Co-coordinator
                          of IGC for this period.

                            I have more than the required skills and expertise to function very well
                          in this capacity. Working as an IT consultant has equipped me to understand
                          the rudiments of IT technologies (software, hardware and humanware).

                          Have been privileged to facilitate international online discussions
                          (FIN4AGRIC); served as social media coordinator of remote IGF events in
                          Calabar, Nigeria; joined (NCSG) and contributes at several webinars and a
                          strong advocate from remote participation.

                          Have taken several courses including but not limited to IT, education,
                          management, climate change, policy and implementation which has widened my
                          knowledge to function (DiploFoundation, Worldbank Institute, YaliNetwork
                          etc).

                          I possess listening hear, patience, ability to resolve conflicts, task
                          prioritization, time management, and sense of judgment.

                          In order to be successful in any position and achieve results, there's
                          need for strong relationship. As a coordinator for IGC for 2016 - 2018, I
                          will strive to build strong relationship among IGC Members that will ensure
                          strong discussion and early consensus while ensuring everyone voice and
                          needs is given attention.

                          I seek your support all.

                            Dear Remmy,
                            Thank you for your congratulations and for the reminder.
                            It seemed best to keep the call for nominations short and simple, but I
                            agree with you that an outline of the responsibilities involved is timely.
                            These are the duties as described on the website.

                            Duties of Coordinators

                            The first and most important duty of the coordinator(s) is to facilitate
                            the discussions and enable the members of the caucus to reach consensus
                            whenever possible.
                            In cases where the IGC cannot reach full consensus, the two coordinators
                            together can make a decision on rough consensus subject to an appeal as
                            described below.
                            The coordinators are also responsible for defining and assigning any
                            other tasks that need to be carried out in support of the caucus such as
                            list management, web site management or support of other tools. These
                            decisions will require the advice of the membership and can be appealed to
                            the appeals team.

                            http://igcaucus.org/charter

                            I would add from my own experience the need for patience, tact, common
                            sense and a fair amount of time. Because the coordinators need to be neutral
                            it is also necessary sometimes to abstain from taking part in exciting
                            discussions.

                            The IGC face to face meeting in Joao Pessoa was small but active with
                            proposals for changes coming from Arsene and Renata. Sonigitu had also
                            indicated that he had suggestions, but unfortunately missed the meeting.
                            These ideas will be issues for discussion this year.

                            I'd like to use this opportunity to say a preliminary thank you to all of
                            you who have supported and helped me during the course of these two years.
                            The co-coordinators owe special thanks to Jeremy who has patiently rescued
                            us from several technical difficulties.

                            Best wishes

                            Deirdre
