Subject: [IRPCoalition] REMINDER - [FWD: IMPORTANT: IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE ELECTIONS PROCESS]

Thank you, Sahaj Man Shrestha and Rigobert Kenmogne (Cameroon) for self-nominating for the IRPC Steering Committee. Sahaj still needs a seconder.

There is still time to (self) nominate for the IRPC Steering Committee, and for the incoming co-Chair of the Coalition.

The nomination period runs to December 31, if you know of someone, or would like to step forward yourself.

We welcome IRPC Coalition members who would like to contribute to the ongoing work of translating and disseminating the IRPC Charter around the world, those who would like to be a part of the new Charter Resource Guide project that showcases the many projects that have emerged around human rights and principles for internet policy-making. We also welcome people who have participated on the list, and who have ideas for events at the annual IGF meetings, EuroDIG and other regional meetings.

Updates on all those activities and outputs are at http://internetrightsandprinciples.org/site/

Some people have expressed interest and inquired about the time commitment. Being on the SC requires some bandwidth for email communications, and periodic meetings online in the lead-up to key events on the internet governance calendar; As outline below, enthusiasm, ideas, and desire to contribute to this work are the main criteria.

IMPORTANT: IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE ELECTIONS PROCESS

Timeline:
Nominations 16-31 December, 2018.

This email is an announcement regarding the upcoming Internet Rights and Principles Coalition Elections.

For 2019-21 we have positions for (1) the incoming co-chair and 2) steering committee members.

Below you will find the nomination and election procedure, which includes ideal criteria (roles and responsibilities, areas of interest and expertise) for each position.

(Self) nominations for any of these positions are open until 31 December 2018. All (self-) nominations require a seconder and a brief statement of intent.

The voting will be open from 1-15 January, 2019.


Procedure and Guidelines for Nominees:
·      Invite (self) nominations for both Co-Chair and Steering Committee Member. Each candidate provides a short profile statement to include a short bio as pertains to their intended role in the Coalition, as well as a short statement of how they will work towards the Coalition’s continued success and development.
·      Set up a survey monkey and hold elections – or a poll to endorse current and incoming officers if nominations not contested - for incoming Co-Chair and Steering Committee Member/s.
