> Dear IRPers
>

> been expressed over the past few weeks which is great.  We?d like to keep
> the nominations open for one more week until Wednesday 25th November at
> 23.00 GMT so that we can get a good range of candidates.  We?ll be electing
> 3 candidates from each stakeholder group (civil society, academia,
> governmental institutions, and business), making a total of 12 in the
> steering committee.
>
> We really need more candidates in the business and governmental groups, and
> a more diverse range of candidates in terms of geography (especially Asia,
> Africa, Pacific, Latin America) and gender.  Please feel free to nominate
> yourself or other people by sending me an email.
>
> All nominees need to accept or reject their nomination by Friday 27th
> November at 23.00 GMT by sending an email to me or to the list.  If you
> accept the nomination, you will need to fill in your short profile and

> .  If you don?t fill in your details by Friday 27th, we?ll assume that
> you?re no longer available for the election. I copy what we our current
> definition of the steering committee role is at the bottom of this email
