[governance] Update: Calls for Nominations for IGC Coordinator [2014-2016]

Tue Nov 12 17:30:49 EST 2013

Dear All,

This is an update to advise that so far we have two nominations for the
coordinator position:-

1) Deirdre Williams
2) Imran Ahmed Shah

We welcome more nominations. Kindly note that Coordinators, can encourage
people to stand but cannot directly nominate as we will be facilitating the
elections process so in the interest of accountability and transparency, we
have to maintain our neutrality.

For those who are thinking of standing in the elections, please refer to my
email below.

Kind Regards,
Sala

(soon to be outgoing co-coordinator)
