Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] CS Nom Com recommendation for the Global
AllianceStrategy Council
Importance: High

 

Dear all, 

 

This is to inform you that the CS NomCom has finalized today and the
selection of the recommendation for the CS membership in the GAID Strategy
Council. A letter was sent to the GAID Secretariat to inform it that the
following CS representatives are supported to join the GAID Strategy
Council, in which 3 or 4 seats are open to rotation:

 

*	Mr. Micheal Gurstein (CS affiliations: Global Telecentre Alliance,
Telecentres of the Americas Partnership, Telecommunities Canada, Vancouver
Community Network, Association for Community Networking; Canada) 
*	Mr. Parminder Jeet Singh (IT for Change, Bangalore; India) 
*	Ms. Viola Krebs (ICVolunteers; Switzerland) 
*	Ms. Linda Misek-Falfoff (Respectful Interfaces; USA) 

 

It was noted by the NomCom members that while the gender balance was fully
respected, it appeared not possible to find a consensus which completely
respected the geographic balance, while this concern was fully taken in
consideration by the NomCom members.

 

Let me thank the 5 NomCom members (Ezendu Ariwa, Luis Pouzin, Ginger Paque,
Delphine Nana and Hakikur Rahman) for the fact that they all took their
function extremely seriously, and gave required time and commitment to make
this process very smooth (and pleasant for the facilitator).

 

Keep in mind that the UN Secretary-General will still take the final
decision regarding the rotation in the GAID membership.

You will be kept informed about the up coming developments in this regard.

 

All the best, 

 

Ph
