<br>
Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
<br>
[Apologize again for a long email but please read it carefully]<br>
<br>
<br></span>
As *promised*<br>
<<a href="http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc/governance/2016-08/msg00059.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc<wbr>/governance/2016-08/msg00059.h<wbr>tml</a>>, we are<span><br>
opening up nominations for a new Internet Governance Caucus (IGC)<br>
representative on the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG).<br>
<br>

<<a href="http://internetgov-cs.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://internetgov-cs.org/</a>>.<span><br>
<br>
<br>
The new IGC Rep will serve for a period of 2 years starting September 2016<br>
(to September 2018) and I will be stepping down from this role next year<br>
(in September 2017) after we have elected a new Co-coordinator in<br>
replacement of Analia (whose term expires in January 2017).<br>
<br>
<br></span>
*Description: *<span><br>
<br>
This position will not always require much of your time though it can<br>
happen during Nomcoms or working groups. So we need someone who knows a lot<br>
about IGF, MAG selection process and understands civil society in the IG<br>
area as a whole. We need someone who has been active on the IGC for quite a<br>
while and who can speak our positions.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br></span>
*Suggested time line:*<span><br>
<br>
Nomination opens: August 17th, 2016 (Nomination ends: August 31st, 2016)<br>
<br>
Vote opens: September 2nd, 2016 (Vote closes: September 7th 2016)<br>
<br>
Results announced: September 10th, 2016<br>
<br>
<br>
<br></span>
*Role of Representatives:*<span><br>
<br>
The duties of members are to:<br>
<br>
1. Consider the interests of civil society as a whole,<br>
<br>
2. Serve on Nomcoms regularly as required,<br>
<br>
3. Communicate with their coalitions on CSCG developments.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br></span>
*Nomination Process:*<span><br>
<br>
Note this will be open (candidates sending their SOI directly to the<br>
list). Members are allowed to show support for a specific candidate in<br>
forms of +1s if you wish too.<br>
<br>
<br>
You can nominate yourself (self nomination) or you can nominate someone<br>
(please make sure you have informed the candidate of your intention to do<br>
so before sending in their name). If you are nominating someone, we will<br>
need you to state why you think they qualify for this position. The<br>
nominated person will need to confirm their nomination within the same<br>
nomination period.<br>
<br>
<br></span>
*The Statement of Interest (SOI) *will have this info:<br>
<br>
• *Name, declared region of residence, gender and employment*<br>
<br>
• *Reasons for willingness to take on this task (max 200 words)*<br>
<br>
• *Qualifications for this position (max 200 words)*<br>
<br>
*• Statement of availability for the time the position requires (max 200<br>
words)*<br>
<br>
*• The nominee’s statement may also include any other information the<br>
candidate believes in relevant (max 200 words).*<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
*Do not hesitate to come back to me if you have any question or concern to<span><br>
raise about this process to ensure a smooth one. I hope everyone will<br>
receive this IMPORTANT email in their principal mail boxes but just in<br>
case, I will appreciate if someone can share it to the list once more to<br></span>
avoid any issue.*<br>
<br>
<br>
*Best regards,*<br>
<br>
*Analia & Arsene, IGC Co-coordinators*<span><br>
