[governance] IGC co-coordinator election

[Lee W McKnight]

Re gender and regional balance; 

1st, given that there are just 2 co-coordinators it is impossible to represent all regions simultaneously.

So, Jeremy who either represents North America or Asia depending upon whether you look at his present mailing address or his nationality - serving with Rafik or Izumi is fine by me.
(I'm guessing next go-round Euro, African or South American candidates might be especially favored by many of us recalling the home address or nationality of the prior coordinators.)  

2nd, given that there are just 2 co-coordinator positions, similarly preventing 2 women from ever serving at same time, or 2 men - in my opinion is impractical.   It may be a 1 year anomaly more often than not we may more reasonably deal with. (I think it's safe to say that in general 1 man and 1 woman would be preferred, but even saying that makes it sound like we are trying to defend marriage against....what exactly?  Seriously, having 2 women as co-coordinators is fine by me, as is 2 men, assuming that is just due to the laws of small numbers, and not ingrained bias.)  

But of course if there are other candidates of any gender ready to step up now is a good time for them to be nominated....

Hey All,
It was great seeing you in Vilnius,
Qusai and Meryem do you have any suggestions for gender balance support?
Thank you.
All the best,

Dear All:
I am in agreement with Meryem, Izumi and Rafik are all good qualified
candidates and dear friends. But I would support a gender balance for
the IGC coordinator.

All the best to all candidates, regards,
