[governance] IGC - organisational matters

[Parminder]

Wishing a great 2008 to everyone here!

 

We need to urgently address some organizational issues. (I am sorry for some
delay in this. I was too occupied with many other responsibilities.)

 

Most important is the election of a new co-coordinator. Vittorio's term ran
out with the end of IGF meeting. (I would separately propose this as the
normal practice, since much of IGC's work centers on the IGF.)

 

As per the charter it is my responsibility to conduct the elections. Avri
gave us the bad news that the voting software we used last time is no longer
available. So, the first thing I seek advice on is about possible ways to
conduct this election. Does anyone know of a good software/ process to do
this? 

 

This is also a call for the members to put forward their names as candidates
for the election. The call is open for the next 15 days, i.e. till 21st Jan,
as we make preparations for the election. I request members to freely
volunteer for this task. We need to put more energy into advocacy tasks of
this group. We remain the main global civil society forum on IG issues, and
therefore have important public interest responsibilities. More members
offering themselves to volunteer for the task of coordination of the group
will reflect our mutual faith in the value and purposefulness of this group.

 

Thanks
