The procedure and the associated deadlines will be as follows:

  *   If you are interested in running for a position in the new steering committee, please forward the following details to me personally by 14 August 2017 (you may cc the list, but you don't have to).  ...
  *   If at least 5 nominations are received, I will proceed to set up an online election and distribute voting tokens to all those have been subscribed to the list for 2 months prior to the election being called.  The voting tokens will be distributed on 21 August 2017.

Nominations were received from Renata Aquino, Nighat Dad, Antonella Perini, and Poncelet Ileleji.  There was an enquiry from a fifth person about nominating, but due to some ambiguity over whether their organization would be accepted as civil society, they declined to nominate.

This does, however, mean that we did not receive the minimum of five nominations needed in order to run an election process.  Does anyone else wish to run?  I'll also be reaching back out to the other person who enquired, in case they wish to reconsider putting themselves forward.

Otherwise, maybe we can just draw upon the nominees as volunteers without actually electing a steering committee?
