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 <B><SPAN

volunteers<B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">: we still need a couple of
volunteers for the Nom Com</SPAN></B> 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 <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">volunteer as soon as

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 <B><SPAN
