<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">This is a call for nominations for a
co-coordinator of the Internet
Governance Caucus to replace Ian Peter, whose term unfortunately
expires at the end of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Sharm
El Sheikh IGF</st1:city></st1:place> meeting. An
election will be held as soon as is practical after the end of this
years' IGF
meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Both self nominations and third party
nominations are perfectly
acceptable and should be sent to me by private email (gpaque @
gmail.com ) with a short bio of the nominee. If nominating
another person, however, I ask that you please confirm with them as to
their
willingness to take this on before submitting their names. I will
acknowledge nominations received by return
email. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">I will periodically announce nominations that
have been received.
Nominations will close Sunday, December 6, when I will release a final
list of
nominations with short biographical details. An election will then be
held.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Please give serious thought to this. The
Co-coordinator position is for
a two-year term. This will be an important period for us as it will
lead us to
the end of the fifth (and perhaps final) IGF meeting. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">This is an election, therefore anyone IGC
member who feels able to do
this should feel free to nominate, and each of us will have our own
criteria
for the ideal candidate. I should say that in my mind an ideal
candidate will
be someone who is already involved with IGC, IGF and its processes, has
good people skills and consensus
seeking skills, lots of energy, and a small amount of time to devote to
this
each week.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">Please feel free to contact me if you need
further information. I
welcome all nominations and look forward to receiving them.<br>
