[governance] Update on CSCG Working Group

[Ian Peter]

Folks, here is a summary of the progress so far of the CSCG Working Group – my personal summary, happy for any comments from other WG members or anyone else interested. Feel free to copy to other lists.



GENERAL AGREEMENT SO FAR

Maintain “coalition of coalitions” model

Two year terms for coalition representatives, 2 reps per member, stand down after max two terms (4 years) before being eligible for re-election again

Chair elected by members – can be from among members or an outsider

Chair plus up to two co-chairs – co-chairs from member reps.

Nomcoms are one rep per member coalition plus separate non voting chair

Scope to remain solely to ensure a coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies.

Support to develop separate entity - but related body- to look at funding issues for civil society representatives travel (eg CSCG members might be trustees of new entity)

ISSUES

Some discussion has taken place on new coalition members, with a general agreement that this might include regional coalitions.  However we need to clarify what procedures might be adopted for inclusion of regional coalitions and other potential new members.



STILL TO DO

REFINE AND EXPAND ON SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS ABOVE

REVISE PROCEDURES

OUTREACH ISSUES



We hope to wrap up this work by end August.
