[Telecentres] Nominations for Global Alliance council

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

I just got an email from Philippe Dam at CONGO reminding me that May 10 
is the deadline for self-nominations to serve on the advisory council 
for the new ICT Global Alliance. Philippe wanted to know if I or other 
telecentre caucus members would like to nominate themselves. I will not 
be able to attend the first meeting, but I think it would be good for 
the caucus to be represented if possible.

Please see below as to how you can nominate yourself. -andy

Hi Andy,



I allow myself to briefly contact you regarding the CS Nom Com process
for the Global Alliance. As you might know, I am in the process of
facilitating a self-nomination process for CS members of the Global
Alliance Strategy Council (just in case: info on the Global Alliance
<http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=pag&id=10210> – on the CS NomCom
process <http://www.ngocongo.org/index.php?what=news&id=10220>). Just as
an up-date, we have quite enough volunteers for a Nom Com, which will be
randomly selected tomorrow. However, whereas we have to select and
recommend around 15 persons to UN DESA, the list of nominees is not yet
at the expected level. Nominations are possible until tomorrow night (10
May, 4:00 p.m. GMT / 6:00 p.m. Geneva Time). The Tele-centre caucus and
beyond that the tele-center community is not yet represented among nominees.



I think it would be interest to have you on board. Please let me know if
you need more information, and I hope you could identify somebody in
this regard. For any nomination, we need the brief following information:

//Name:///
//CS Affiliation(s)://
//Country://
/Gender:
//Age:///
//Biographical Statement://
//Vision of their specific contribution to the GA Strategy Council:///





Hope to hear from you, all the best,



Philippe
