[governance] Co-Coordinator Nomination: short bio Virginia (Ginger) Paque

[Ginger Paque]

Hi everybody,

 

Just to give some basic information about myself, hoping to make the IGC
co-coordinator elections an open and dynamic process as per Ian's request, I
am including a short bio.

 

Virginia (Ginger) Paque was born in the United States, but has lived in
Venezuela for the past +30 years. An educator and administrator by
profession, she has 25 years experience in business and manufacturing
systems consulting. She is a board member of the United Nations Association
of Venezuela and her work as the Venezuelan member of the World Federation
of United Nations Associations Task Force on WSIS (starting in 2003) brought
her into the world of Internet Governance during the PrepComs. She is a
member of the Venezuela chapter of ISOC.

Currently, an important priority is her work with Diplo Foundation for the
Internet Governance Capacity Building Program, in particular the
multilingual possibilities for digital education and the Spanish-English
bilingual section of the Internet Governance Capacity Building Programmed in
particular. She also coordinates and facilitates a series of online Spanish
language Human Rights courses for lawyers and other professionals. Two areas
of particular interest are Spanish language online educational projects and
the research and monitoring of e-voting as a controversial but inevitable
development. 

She is a member of the IGF Remote Participation Working Group, the Gender
DC, the Digital Education DC, and the IBR DC. She is also interested in Net
Neutrality as an IG issue. As examples of current work, she participated as
a panelist in the Net Neutrality Workshop (users' viewpoint), the Digital
Education Workshop (educators' viewpoint) and the Internet Governance
Capacity Building Best Practices Workshop at the IGF Hyderabad. She has
little formal experience as a moderator, and none as a mailing list
coordinator. She has  handled moderator/facilitator activities in courses
and panels such as the Internet Voting debate held at the IGF Hyderabad in
the Village Square.

She practices tenor sax and classical piano, and plays with metalworking and
cooking in her free time as well.
