  Subject: [CS Bureau] CS Nom Com for the Global Alliance Strategy Council - Call for volunteers and nominees


  Dear all, 

   

  As mentioned in my previous e-mails, we set up a CS self nomination process for the Global Alliance Strategy Council. The 5 members of the Nom Com will be randomly selected among a pool of volunteers who announced their interest before 9 May. We have so far 21 volunteers: we still need a couple of volunteers for the Nom Com so that the selection process is really random! We previously mentioned that we should have at least 25 volunteers, but the more volunteers we have, the more representative the NomCom will be. I call you to volunteer as soon as possible, anyway by tomorrow, at wsis at ngocongo.org, with the following information:

  Name:
  NGO or CS affiliation:
  Country:
  E-Mail address:

   

   

  In addition, we have received pretty few nominations for the Strategy Council itself. The deadline for nomination to the CS Nom Com is 10 May. If the Nom Com has not enough nominations to make a choice of 15 to 20 recommended names, as previously announced, the process would be terminated without any recommendation emanating from CS constituencies. As we initially announced, this is a distinct process from the nomination to the UN DESA. I therefore also repeat my call to self-nominate or nominate CS persons for membership to the Global Alliance Strategy Council. Send your nomination at wsis at ngocongo.org NO LATER THAN 10 MAY 2006, 4:00 p.m. GMT / 6:00 p.m. Geneva Time with the following information:

  Name:

  CS Affiliation(s):

  Country:

  Gender:

  Age:

  Biographical Statement:

  Vision of their specific contribution to the GA Strategy Council:

   

   

  I am aware that a list of nominations received by UN DESA is now available on line. However, it is somewhat difficult to identify Civil Society constituencies among this list. That is why I call you to work with the CS Nom Com process, in addition to any nomination you would have made.

   

  All the information about the process is available on the CONGO website. I'll post the details about the random selection process early this afternoon.

  Best, 

   

  Philippe
