Dear all
Thank you Robert and Sahaj for letting us know you wish to continue serving on the steering committee.
Robert's nomination needs a seconder.
Sahaj does not need to stand yet as his two-year term ends at the end of this year (2018). Thank you Sahaj for renewing your committment to the work.
Polling will begin as soon as there is a seconder for Robert Bodle
There will be two candidates at that point
Minda Moreira - Co-Chair (2018-2020)
Robert Bodle - SC Member (2018-2020).
Kind regards
IRPC

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
Revised Timeline:
