[governance] [Call for candidates] IGC Co-Coordinators election

[Bruna Martins dos Santos (via governance Mailing List)]

Dear IGC,

Following up on our elections discussions, I would like to kickstart this
process by announcing that *nominations are now open until September 5 for
the two vacancies for IGC Co coordinators*.

Self nominations, and nomination of others who you feel would be suitable,
are equally encouraged. We advise you to check if a person is willing to
stand before nominating them: however in any case confirmation by
candidates will be necessary by the close of nominations to confirm their
willingness to stand to the mailing list.

*Nominations are made by a posting to the IGC Mailing List.* Please make
the subject of your posting:

*NOMINATION - (name of candidate). *And should be accompanied by a *300
word statement which should include full name, country of residence and
origin, work/involvement with IGF/IGC/civil society activities, and reasons
why the person nominated would be a good Co-ordinator for IGC*. If this
information is not supplied at the time of nomination, a short period of
time will be made available at the end of the nomination period to supply
this information before voting commences.

*The voting process is planned to begin on September 10th*, after
nominations have been made and all statements are available. More
information about this process will be made available on list before that
date. Two candidates will be elected – one for a two year term, and one for
a one year term.

The Scrutineers and Returning Officers for the election are Ian Peter and
Tapani Tarvainen. They will be pleased to answer queries on list as the
process develops.

The following information has been shared on this very mailing list before,
but for any further reference, this is our elections timeline:

*Nominations* - August 22nd until September 5th
*Candidates acceptance and Statement submission* - September 9th
*Voting period* -  from 10th to September 23rd
*Election results announcement *- September 29th

*Please nominate now, and before September 5.* A strong leadership team is
vital to the success of IGC, and your involvement in this process will be
greatly appreciated. Additionally, feel free to contact me, Tapani or Ian
in case you have any doubts about this process!


Best Regards,
