[bestbits] DEADLINE EXTENDED TILL JULY 24 Re: Best Bits Steering Committee Nominations Now Open

[Ian Peter]

I note that, with just a couple of hours to go, there are insufficient candidates to proceed with a Best Bits Steering Committee election.

Accordingly, please note that the deadline has been extended until midnight UTC, Friday July 24, to allow for late candidates. I urge you all to give consideration to this; self nominations are fine.

If at the new closing date there are still insufficient candidates, I will be referring the matter back to the existing Steering Committee to decide on next steps.

So please give the notice some thought, and consider nominating. Like any other organisation, Best Bits needs people prepared to put in effort to be able to meet its objectives.

Any person who is a civil society subscriber of the Best Bits mailing list of over two months standing is able to nominate, using the nomination form available at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1lo_4zV9aOyKk0vTIrZHNuQuJoowUf8Toa3NPoRAxy34/viewform?usp=send_form. Nominations close at midnight UTC on Friday July 17. 24

Geographic region for which you would like to be considered

Brief Biography (say 150 words)

What do you think you could contribute as a member of BB steering committee?

Please outline any potential conflicts of interest which might result from your being elected and how you would deal with these.

Links to further information (optional)



Nominations as they are received will be available for viewing at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17eg3aiIM03k56lTX5LyEeF-2RzphBYu7ekIXzThfqkU/edit#gid=835354023. Anyone with a philosophical objection to using Google docs may submit their nomination to me privately. However, the nomination will still appear publicly at the above url.

At the completion of the nomination period, a voting procedure will be undertaken if necessary.

I have been asked to conduct this process as an independent facilitator, in accordance with the draft procedures outlined at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1upQz1JX8tnYFl2yJNaT9MuD2w3ZaPvUaNlT5U2hi6b8/edit#heading=h.fwu8ibolipad. If you are unsure about these details, please ask either here on list or by private email to me if more appropriate and I (and I hope others) will do our best to respond.

Nominations are now open!  Please remember the new closing time – midnight UTC, Friday July 24
