  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&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 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 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

  Philippe, I volunteer to be a member of the noncom. Please will you share the list of those who've already volunteered as well as the names of those put forward for nomination to the strategy council?

  Best,
