[IRP] IRP Chair

Mon Jan 18 22:05:01 EET 2010

Hi Max - Out going Chair and
Hi Lisa ? In-coming Chair
?
I agree Max, I think we have provided ample opportunity for the transparent nomination and consensus for the selection of Chair of IRP. I for one am happy that Lisa has been nominated by so many people and has accepted. 
I congratulate you Lisa and thank you for stepping forward to leading us. I know you will do a fine job of leading us and keeping in order our band of "enthusiastic" human rights advocates.
?
Thank you Max and Lisa!

Dear all
?
Two days ago the nomination period for candidates to run for the IRP coalition chair has finished. So we have Lisa who accepted the nomination as the only candidate. I believe ten member of the 14 in the steering committee already endorsed her candidacy so I believe we can find consensus around her taking up the role? 
?
I suggest: (a) that we define the chair voting procedure better in the our coalition's charter (please excuse the improvised process we had) and (b) please if you have concerns or other comments regarding Lisa taking up the chair send them to the list until this friday, by which date i suggest we proceed to bestowing the position upon her.
?
Best
Max

Thanks Max, that sounds good to me.? I agree that it'd be good to have more nominations if people are interested, and think self-nomination should also be encouraged.

All the best,
Lisa
