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

[ian.peter at ianpeter.com]

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that the call for nominations for new co coordinators 
for IGC is now open. If you want to do something to help civil society 
be more effective in the internet governance space, this would be a good 
place for you to volunteer. Self nominations are perfectly OK and very 
welcome, or by all means start talking to people who you think would be 
suitable and start a process to nominate them. Nominations are due to 
close September 5.

Details on how to nominate are below. Please give this some thought, as 
having good co cordinators here will make a real difference.


Ian Peter
