Dear All,<div><br></div><div>Whilst I have thanked each of you individually, I would also like to thank you again for your encouragement and support. We live in a time which is like no other as recorded in human history as the nature of crises around the world escalates. The recent flooding in Bangkok, the reported leak of the nuclear power plant in Karachi, the earthquake in the Northern part of New Zealand, the intense drought in Tuvalu, economic meltdown in Europe, food, water and energy crisis, climate change issues are some of the problems that the world has to face.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Interwoven in this mix is the role that the internet plays in all of our ordinary day to day lives and the "governance challenges" that surround what is the most exciting invention since the printing press. I am in the process of having Jeremy and Izumi brief me and its is a transitionary phase as I find my footing and adapt into this new role of serving you alongside Izumi. I will no doubt be drawing from all the past co-coordinators at some point.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The greatest strength is in the dynamic of Team and we all are a Team and diverse perspectives on an issue is a strength but finding our way to navigate through the challenges corporately will need all of our input and collective engagement. I am excited about the rich resources and expertise in all of you and look forward to working closely with you all to fulfill our mandate. We are in challenging times but we are a people who have the passion and belief that we can make a difference and together have the courage and strength to navigate through the challenges. </div>
<div><br></div><div>As such, I would like to again thank Jeremy for his extraordinary work and commitment. I would also like to acknowledge the work of all past co-coordinators on this list who have also helped to pave the way and make our work as new co-coordinators an easier one. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Again thank you<b> </b><i>vinaka vakalevu (my language), </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; white-space: nowrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

<br></div>Congratulations, Sala! I am happy that we will have such an active woman as a co-coordinator!<br><br>Jeremy, I would like to thank you very much for your dedication to IGC. You managed to strike a delicate balance between the "neutrality" position required to foster convergences and to achieve commons understandings, while also advancing your person contributions to the discussions, as an IGC member. This is something that should inspire all future IGC coordinators.<br>
<br>Also, you left us with a rich legacy: a very useful online platform that we can use as focal point for IGC external communication as well as for our internal memory. It is up to us to take more advantage from it and use it wisely.<br>
<br>Thanks you!<br>Marília <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 10:25 AM, Carlos A. Afonso <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ca@cafonso.ca" target="_blank">ca@cafonso.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I declare Sala as the next coordinator of the IGC. Congratulations! Many thanks also to the three runners-up, who are encouraged to re-apply next year.<br>

><br>
> In addition, there were 13 informal votes, from those who verified their eligibility to vote and were given the opportunity to do so, did not avail of that opportunity. This probably reflects the preference expressed by a couple of people to me off-list for there to be a "none of the above" option. The charter is silent about this, but because it defines membership for the purposes of charter amendment as only including those who voted in the last election, I did not feel that a "none of the above" option was unambiguously constitutional. I was probably also influenced in this by my experience of other electoral systems, which do not allow for a "none of the above" option.<br>
><br>
> In future if we want to allow people to vote for "none of the above", in my view we should include this in the charter explicitly. I will put this on the table during the charter review process that I have volunteered to coordinate now that I have ended my term. My personal opinion is that such an amendment would be a bad idea, because it lessens the responsibility on all of us during the pre-election period to ensure that there is a slate of candidates at least one of whom everyone would be happy with. (To avoid misunderstanding, I am not imputing to those who voted informally this year that they were unhappy with all of the candidates who stood.) But what do you think?<br>
