[governance] RE: Reminder - 2008 IGC Co-Coordinator Election Ballot

[Michael Gurstein]

Derrick and all,

Since I am subscribed to the list (for historical reasons) with two email
addresses it appears that I have the opportunity to vote twice, which I
haven't done.  However, the option is there and probably represents a
significant procedural anomaly.

My suggestion is that given that the numbers aren't huge, that someone
(Derrick?) do a quick visual scan of the elist and see if there are any
evident anomalies such as mine which might be followed up with an email
query.

Dear IGC List Participant,

This email invites you to consider voting in the elections for the new
co-coordinator for the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC).

In order to vote, as per the conditions of the IGC's charter, you must
specify that you subscribe to the IGC charter and thus accept/ affirm IGC
membership  (see http://www.igcaucus.org/charter). This can be done on the
webpage that opens when you click the following link:

http://websurvey.syr.edu//Survey.aspx?i=b95f780a4f884a92aa1e5dec765385bb

A positive response to the question will take you to the ballot where you
can tick/check the candidate for whom you choose to vote.  There is a link
to background information supplied by the candidates on the ballot paper.

After you have voted, you will then be taken to a page that confirms your
vote has been registered. While at this page you may still go back and
change your vote. However, after you click on "Finish" on the final page,
your vote will be final and cannot be changed.

You may cast your vote anytime upon receipt of this message, until 24h00 GMT
on Sunday, 21 December 2008.

We strongly encourage you to cast your vote as a sign of active engagement
with the caucus. Although, voting is not compulsory for retaining membership
if you are already on the IGC members list (please see this list at
http://www.igcaucus.org/node/12/%253Cbr%2520/%253E), as per the charter you
must vote in this election to be eligible to vote in any charter amendment
process that may come up before the next election.  You may choose to vote
"None of the Above" on the ballot paper to maintain voting eligibility if
you do not favour any of the candidates.

You may seek any clarification by replying to this email.

Thanks

Ian Peter
Co-coordinator IGC

and

Dr. Derrick L. Cogburn
Associate Professor
Director, Cotelco
Syracuse University

PS: Please do not vote with more than one email ID. If you receive this
message more than once, please use only one of them and inform us about the
multiple IDs by replying to this email.
