more volunteers needed.
Importance: High

 

Thanks Lisa, 

 

Yes there is on line a list of volunteers to serve in the NomCom and of self
nominations for the CS membership into the GAID Strategy Council we received
so far. The description of the whole process as previously circulated on
this list is available on: http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=news
<http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=news&id=10462> &id=10462. As you
know, the GAID Secretariat announced that 3 to 4 CS seats in the Strategy
Council will be renewed (corresponding to approximately one third of the 10
CS members of the Strategy Council, composed of a total of 40 members).

 

-        Volunteers to <http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=pag&id=10463>
serve in the NomCom: We only have 13 volunteers so far and as you know we
would need 25 to make the selection completely random. The deadline for
volunteering is TODAY at 0.00. The random selection process will indeed take
place tomorrow. If we don’t reach this number of 25, we would have to
consider cancelling the whole self nomination process and would not be in a
position to submit a recommendation for the new CS members of the Strategy
Council to the GAID Secretariat.

 

-        Nominated <http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=pag&id=10464>
candidates for the GAID Strategy Council: I only received so far 4
nominations. We also need much more to make this process meaningful.
Deadline for nominations of candidates is 25 November. Nominations could be
self-candidatures of nominations by others. To nominate through this
process, send to wsis at ngocongo.org the following information:

Name:
CS Affiliation(s):
Country:
Gender:
Age:
Biographical Statement:
Vision of their specific contribution to the GA Strategy Council:

 

 

 

In parallel to that, one CS seat of the GAID steering committee is also
going to be open to rotation. The Steering Committee is composed of 10
members, including 2 from civil society. As also previously announced, I am
also trying to mobilize the CS outgoing members of the Strategy Council and
the HL Advisors to make a recommendation to the GAID Secretariat on the CS
seat of the GAID Steering Committee to be renewed. I would come back to you
later about that.

 

Best, 

 

Philippe
