I think that nominees should just tell us their own vision, without
having to follow leads, especially as provided by existing caucus
coordinators, which to that extent looks authoritative. On the other
hand, if the agenda of caucus work in the next year, and the following
ones, is being formed, there is much many of us may have to say, but I
dont see the present one as such an exercise.<br>

<pre wrap="">I am happy to see this list of nominees.
I would like to make a request of the nominees. In addition to the point Jeremy made in his note, I would like to see the candidates address issues like the following:
- with the meeting in Azerbaijan, other than worrying about the cost of hotel rooms and the difficulty in finding flight that get there, what should we as Civil Society be doing to make sure that our time in Azerbaijan is as productive as possible in supporting the voices of freedom in that country. How do we prepare, how do we support, and how we make sure that after we leave there is a watching of the suppression that always comes after a brief open window of freedom that the IGF brings.
- how do we make sure that the voice of civil society is as organized and effective as possible in the approach to the WSIS review meeting in 4 years. While 4 years may seem a long way away, it is the same amount of time as was consumed by the prepcoms to the original WSIS meetings. It is now time to start organizing towards those events if we want civil society to have at least as much voice as we had in Tunis. This includes everything from breadth of organization, to the machinery for producing position papers and the funding to get as many people as possible to all the upcoming meeting.

<pre wrap="">I am pleased to nominate Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro aka Sala (Pacific) and Raquel Gatto (Latin America) as candidates for the position of IGC coordinator. Also, nominating themselves (thank you!), are Asif Kabani (Asia) and Sonigitu Ekpe (Africa).
This means that we have four candidates, equal numbers of each gender, from four different Southern regions. This is enough if we were to call the election now, but we will leave it open for a little longer for others to nominate themselves or to be nominated.
Please, if you would like yourself or someone else to be considered for the position of IGC coordinator in the next election, send your nomination by next Saturday 8 October. I will begin to prepare the election process after that.
It would also be helpful if each of the candidates could post an election statement to the list, which will also be included on the voting website. As a guide, you may wish to address one or more of the issues that I posted in my last message to the list titled "Handover notes", but it's up to you.
Thanks to all our candidates and good luck!
