FYI ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya "There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime." - Maxwell Anderson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raul Echeberria <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 5:51 PM Subject: [IGFSA] Call for nomination To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear all, I would like to bring to your attention that Ms. Alice Munyua has asked us to be relieved of her function as a member of the Executive Committee, due to work overload. We have accepted her resignation with regrets and thank Alice for serving as a member of the Executive Committee since IGFSA's inception. She will be greatly missed. While the members of the Executive Committee are elected by the General Assemble, the IGFSA Articles of Association provide for a mechanism to replace an Executive Committee member before completing his or her term, according to Article 11 of the Article of Association ("In the event an Executive Committee member is unable to complete his or her term, the Executive Committee may appoint a replacement to serve until the end of the term."). The IGFSA Executive Committee decided therefore to issue an open call for nominations of suitable candidates to replace Alice. The criteria for membership apply to an even greater degree to members of the Executive Committee. Candidates are expected, through their commitment or actions, to have proved their attachment to the aims of the Association, that is to promote and support the global IGF as well as the national and regional IGF initiatives. The members of the Executive Committee serve as volunteers. The function of the Executive Committee is set forth in the Articles of Association: "The Executive Committee is the executive decision-making body of the Association. It manages the affairs of the Association in accordance with the provisions of these Articles. In so doing, it seeks to represent the interests of the Association Members as a whole." Candidates interested in the position need to be willing to: · take part in regular monthly calls · support fundraising and outreach activities. Please send your nomination or self-nomination with a short Statement of Interest by [email protected] March 2015 to the following email address: [email protected] Priority will be given to nominees from developing countries. Many thanks for your interest Best regards Raúl Echeberría _______________________________________________ IGFSA mailing list [email protected] https://elists.isoc.org/mailman/listinfo/igfsa
