<br></div>We welcome more nominations. Kindly note that Coordinators, can encourage people to stand but cannot directly nominate as we will be facilitating the elections process so in the interest of accountability and transparency, we have to maintain our neutrality.<br>

<br></div>For several years now each time
there has been a coordinator elections, there has often been
dissatisfaction with the candidates or selection of candidates. We would like to change the pattern this year and this was why we gave the community ample opportunity to start thinking about candidates. This
year, we started making early calls to start thinking about nominating
someone or standing for the elections for the 2014-2016 term.<br><br></div><div>We
would like to invite you to consider standing by either nominating
yourself or if you think someone would be great for the task, please
liaise with them and nominate them on the list.<br><br><b>The call for nominations on December, 1, 2013 </b>to allow for elections. having served in this position for what will soon be two years, I thought I should add some reflections that may help those who are thinking of standing or to encourage people to stand.<br>
</div><br></div><b>Reflections </b><br></div>The responsibilities of a co-coordinator is to assist in the facilitation of discussions, encouraging diverse views to be heard, and encouraging members to initiate initiatives within the ambit of the Charter and providing a platform for advocacy. The role and responsibilities will be an opportunity to manage diverse and sometimes antagonistic views. It requires strength, courage and emotional intelligence to manage the responsibilities. For me personally, it has been an incredible opportunity learning about dealing with diverse voices and I can say that I have learnt the discipline of restraint where at times I have had to hold back my view because facilitators have to have some form of neutrality and act in the best interests of the IGC community. <br>
<br>Whoever gets elected, you can rest assured that you can count on the assistance of former coordinators when from time to time things needs to be clarified or you would like to draw from the counsel of the majority before deliberating on decisions. It is also an exciting time for Internet Governance. <br>
</div><div><div><div><br></div><div>The co-coordinator will be immersed in intense preparation with the IGC community as it prepares for things to commit to next year, generally with the IGC, Rio Meeting and other foras.<br>
