[governance] New IGC Representative on CSCG: Nomination Opens

[Arsène Tungali]

Dear colleagues,


[Apologize again for a long email but please read it carefully]


As *promised*
<http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc/governance/2016-08/msg00059.html>, we are
opening up nominations for a new Internet Governance Caucus (IGC)
representative on the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG).

For more info about the job of the CSCG, please do refer to their website
<http://internetgov-cs.org/>.


The new IGC Rep will serve for a period of 2 years starting September 2016
(to September 2018) and I will be stepping down from this role next year
(in September 2017) after we have elected a new Co-coordinator in
replacement of Analia (whose term expires in January 2017).


*Description: *

This position will not always require much of your time though it can
happen during Nomcoms or working groups. So we need someone who knows a lot
about IGF, MAG selection process and understands civil society in the IG
area as a whole. We need someone who has been active on the IGC for quite a
while and who can speak our positions.



*Suggested time line:*

Nomination opens: August 17th, 2016 (Nomination ends: August 31st, 2016)

Vote opens: September 2nd, 2016 (Vote closes: September 7th 2016)

Results announced: September 10th, 2016



*Role of Representatives:*

The duties of members are to:

1. Consider the interests of civil society as a whole,

2. Serve on Nomcoms regularly as required,

3. Communicate with their coalitions on CSCG developments.



*Nomination Process:*

Note this will be open (candidates sending their SOI directly to the list).
Members are allowed to show support for a specific candidate in forms of
+1s if you wish too.


You can nominate yourself (self nomination) or you can nominate someone
(please make sure you have informed the candidate of your intention to do
so before sending in their name). If you are nominating someone, we will
need you to state why you think they qualify for this position. The
nominated person will need to confirm their nomination within the same
nomination period.


*The Statement of Interest (SOI) *will have this info:

• *Name, declared region of residence, gender and employment*

• *Reasons for willingness to take on this task (max 200 words)*

• *Qualifications for this position (max 200 words)*

*• Statement of availability for the time the position requires (max 200
words)*

*• The nominee’s statement may also include any other information the
candidate believes in relevant (max 200 words).*



*Do not hesitate to come back to me if you have any question or concern to
raise about this process to ensure a smooth one. I hope everyone will
receive this IMPORTANT email in their principal mail boxes but just in
case, I will appreciate if someone can share it to the list once more to
avoid any issue.*


*Best regards,*

*Analia & Arsene, IGC Co-coordinators*
