[IRPCoalition] IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE Nominations extended

[IRPCoalition]

Dear all

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

The nomination period has been extended until the end of this week, 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.

IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE ELECTIONS: PROCESS

This email is an announcement regarding the upcoming Internet Rights and
Principles Coalition Elections.
 
For 2018-20 we have positions for (1) the incoming co-chair (2018-2020)

includes ideal criteria (roles and responsibilities, areas of interest
and expertise) for each position.
 
(Self) nominations for any of these positions are open. All (self-)
nominations require a seconder and a brief statement of intent.
 
 
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.

completion of the succeeding two year term.
