[WSIS CS-Plenary] Renewal of membership in the GAIDSteering Committee

[CONGO WSIS - Philippe Dam]

>>Some support to this proposal was expressed on the CS Plenary 
>>Listserv. Parminder proposed that a nominations committee composed 
>>of CS members of the Strategy Council / High Level Advisors 
>>(involved in CS processes in WSIS and post WSIS) would recommend

Due to the time available and the number of seats, but also in order to
increase the ownership of the recommendation, it was indeed proposed that a
nominations committee for the *steering committee* seat would be identified
through the out-coming CS members of the Strategy Council and HL Advisors.

The last CS self-nomination process for GAID in May 2006 was for the
*Strategy Council*. I think that a wide and open ended process, similar to
the last round, should be run for the Strategy Council renewal (to be
finalised in November 2007).

Find below and attached the list of outgoing CS members of the GAID main
structures (Steering Committee, Strategy Council and HL Panel of Advisors).

There are 2 CS representatives (currently Renate and Titi) in the 10 member
Steering Committee. For the sake of continuity, the GAID Secretariat is
willing to maintain one of them and to renew the other one. The GAID
Secretariat did not yet announce who will stay (fyi, Renate informed the
GAID Secretariat that she is available and willing to serve for one more
year). 

>>Such a process seems workable even through the short deadlines. If 
>>there is no objection, I would be happy to quickly refine the 
>>process guidelines and timelines in that spirit (based on your 
>>feedback please!). Urgent issues:
>>-          identifying volunteers for the nominations committee 
>>among CS members of Strategy Council / HL Advisors;
>>-          identifying candidates for the CS seat in the Steering
>>Committee;

>colleagues, it sounds like a sensible plan..
>(so, this is my personal opinion)
