Hi all,
I read about an astute professional with versed skills and experience who
would submit his CV (resume) for a new job on not more than one-half of an
A4 page, yet he would ultimately get the job. In my high school certificate
Economics exam, I barely wrote more than one-half of the answer booklet in
answering the required 5 questions. Most students used up the booklet,
asked for and used additional sheets several times. When results came out,
I outscored all those students.
While I respect Remmy's concern and welcome Analia's acceptance of his
observation that I believe is also visible to many of us, I think verbosity
has little role in our assessment of the candidates. Only let's strive to
avoid the erroneous thought that he who writes more has more points. Let's
be careful to allow thoughtful evaluation, strictly based on the given job
description, to detect our votes. As Analia reminded us, the candidates
were given an open floor to present their qualifications, and each used it
as much as he/she could.
Best regards,
CPU

>> 1. Why you think you would make a good co-coordinator for the IGC
>>
>>
>> I have known the IGC for quite a bit now and I believe we need a new
>> co-co who has the time, passion, dedication and have vision to bring us to
>> the place we belong to in the IG sphere as a civil society body. I humbly
>> think I have some of the above mentioned qualities and I am willing to
>> contribute to the work we are doing here, alongside Analia, who has proved
>> how capable she is. That’s why I am asking you to give me this opportunity
>> to serve you.
>> Some of the points I would like to bring to your attention about why I
>> think I am good for this VOLUNTEERING position are as follow:
>>
>>
>> - I am young, full of energy and have time to commit to this task. I
>> might be the first young person (correct me if I am wrong) to be willing to
>> take this role. Being young, I am open, ready and willing to learn from all
>> of you,
>> - While I understand English is the primary working language here, I
>> am a French and English speaker which gives me the ability to easily engage
>> with people who have French as their primary language as myself,
>> - I have been told more than once that I am slow to speak, always
>> taking time to think twice before I jump into a discussion. I know
>> moderators ought to have that as quality,
>> - I have basic analytical capacity and in my background have been
>> doing similar work in the real world, which gives me the capability to do
>> it in a virtual world,
>> - I have been coordinating various groups and organizations from the
>> civil society world which gives me better understanding of how to bring
>> together different point of view and make a good summary,
>> - I am closely following discussions from other CS groups and I am
>> trying to be up-to-date with developments in the IG world and the global
>> Internet ecosystem.
>>
>> To name just few, these are some of the points that make me believe I can
>> be a good co-coordinator for the IGC and contribute to make it what it
>> ought to be based on our Charter. I am a constant learner and will be
>> always learning from your experience, willing to work with anyone available.
>>
>>
>> 1. My vision for the IGC
>>
>>
>> I want to contribute in helping the IGC to remain the Civil Society group
>> of reference in the Internet Governance ecosystem, where people will be
>> free to speak and express themselves with no fear to be frightened.
>> I want the IGC to be a place where new people (members) interested in the
>> IG can be able to learn and to contribute to discussions with no need to
>> have advanced IG background. I will work to be able to create a good
>> atmosphere in the group to make it a safe place for real and constructive
>> conversations.
>> I will work on bringing back those registered members who are no longer
>> contributing to discussions although their inputs are needed to make
>> informed decisions as a group. I will work on finding the reasons why they
>> are no longer contributing and will make sure we bring them back.
>> I will work on verifying email addresses of members and make sure they
>> are updated because so many have either changed or are no longer using
>> their original email address. Reaching out to them will help us update the
>> list and have new insights from other members.
>> Finally, I will be working with the current co-co to bring to reality
>> some other ideas I have, some of them were shared on this list after the
>> Brazil meeting where few IGC members met to talk and discuss IGC issues. I
>> was privileged to be part of that meeting.
