[governance] Overdue IGC Co-coordinator Elections and Request for Update on Website/ Was Re: Who are the IGC Co-coordinators?

Tue Jun 25 10:13:14 EDT 2019

Dear Colleagues,

   1. It would appear from a copy of the email to the IGC Mailing list that
   one of our co-coordinator's (Arsene) term would have lapsed last year in
   December, 2018 where the elections for a new co-coordinator should have
   been held to ensure rotation. IC co-coordinators serve for a term of 2
   years. Arsene was elected and began serving in March 2016 following the
   February 2016 elections facilitated by Analia.
   2. Bruna and Arsene should have started the Open Call for candidates in
   December and held the elections by February 2019.
   3. The co-coordinators have been working with the community on migrating
   the content as you can see from the email below of April 27, 2017 and
   preparing a new website. The website mentioned in that email was
   www.igcaucus.org Moreover, on September, 2016, Arsene had informed the
   IGC that whilst he had received 3 statement of interests to do the website,
   he had accepted Akinremi Peter. In essence work on the website would have
   been from September 2016 and onwards.
   4. Kindly advise what the new website is and whether the migration of
   content  was completed.
   5. An election should be held immediately to replace the vacancy that
   currently exists. I would encourage energetic and committed members to
   apply (looking at *Sheetal* and *Farzaneh*) and non-discriminately
   encouraging others too.
   6. An update should be sent to all members about the status of the IGC,
   and strategic framework for engagement within the IGF, WEF, WTO and diverse
   fora.
   7. There have been some content about a rudderless IGC and we have to
   encourage Bruna to get on with it as per the Charter and provide an update.
   Should any of the co-coordinators need assistance there are many past
   coordinators who can give advice offline.
   8. There is need to align the IGC to the Charter and if the Charter
   needs changing and leadership needs revamping so be it!

Sincerely,
Sala

Subject: [governance] New IGC Co-coordinator: Nominations open until May
10th!
To: Internet Governance <governance at lists.igcaucus.org>

Dear colleagues,

It is time to elect a new Co-coordinator for the Caucus, to replace Analía
who has already completed her two-year term, and to work with me (Arsene).
As you know, the IGC is operating with two volunteers called
“Co-coordinators”.

I would like to send my apologies for the time it took me to quick start
this process; as you know, we have been busy with migrating our server but
also I informed that I will be launching this once we have submitted our
workshop proposal to the upcoming IGF (which we did today). This is an
usual process and I beg you to bear with me. You will remember I did launch
this call while we were still working on the server but so many of you only
saw it later on when the system was restored back.

We invite members of the IGC to nominate candidates (please check with them
first about their willingness to serve), or to nominate themselves as
Co-coordinator to serve for 2 years, from 2017-2019. All you need to do is
to send TO THE LIST your statement of interest (in the body of an email and
attached in a .doc file) with the following elements:

-          Your full name

-          Your country of origin and of residence

-          Anything we need to know about your work/involvement with
IGC/IGF/Civil Society activities. (200 words max)

-          Why do you think you can be a good Co-coordinator for the IGC?
(Max 200 words)

-          What’s your vision for the IGC during your term if elected? Pick
up to 3 current issues we face in the group that you will consider as
priority during your first year. (Max 200 words)

The nomination period will be open until midnight UTC on May 10th,
2017. After this date, we will circulate a resume of candidate's profiles
and enable a voting link to all IGC members in order to elect our new
co-coordinator.

You can check duties and responsibilities on our website (www.igcaucus.org)
<http://igcaucus.org/charter>
<http://igcaucus.org/charter>I do encourage all of you who wish to have a
different experience with international advocacy or Internet public policy
issues to consider applying. Also, we need to revitalize our group so we
need someone very dynamic that will bring a push to support me.

Kind regards,

Arsene

IGC Co-coordinator
