[governance] Nominations for new Co-coordinator

[Deirdre Williams]

Dear Remmy,
Thank you for your congratulations and for the reminder.
It seemed best to keep the call for nominations short and simple, but I
agree with you that an outline of the responsibilities involved is timely.
These are the duties as described on the website.

Duties of Coordinators

The first and most important duty of the coordinator(s) is to facilitate
the discussions and enable the members of the caucus to reach consensus
whenever possible.
In cases where the IGC cannot reach full consensus, the two coordinators
together can make a decision on rough consensus subject to an appeal as
described below.
The coordinators are also responsible for defining and assigning any other
tasks that need to be carried out in support of the caucus such as list
management, web site management or support of other tools. These decisions
will require the advice of the membership and can be appealed to the
appeals team.

I would add from my own experience the need for patience, tact, common
sense and a fair amount of time. Because the coordinators need to be
neutral it is also necessary sometimes to abstain from taking part in
exciting discussions.

The IGC face to face meeting in Joao Pessoa was small but active with
proposals for changes coming from Arsene and Renata. Sonigitu had also
indicated that he had suggestions, but unfortunately missed the meeting.
These ideas will be issues for discussion this year.

I'd like to use this opportunity to say a preliminary thank you to all of
you who have supported and helped me during the course of these two years.
The co-coordinators owe special thanks to Jeremy who has patiently rescued
us from several technical difficulties.

Best wishes

Deirdre
