[discuss] Community Informatics Nomination for the Academic Stakeholder Group for the 1Net Steering Committee

[michael gurstein]

Adiel,

 

I am resending this as I have not yet received a reply.

 

Since it is my understanding that your and 1net's role is not a substantive
or "editorial" one the absence of an indication of how you will comply with
these requests/nominations is most surprising.

 

I await a suitable reply from you, presumably noting that a mistake was made
in relying only on nominations from narrow and self-selected organizations
in the categories of "academic" and "civil society" and that our nominations
for the Steering Committee will be given appropriate treatment by, we would
expect suitably transparent and accountable processes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Michael Gurstein

For the Community Informatics Network

Adiel,

 

I have the honour of submitting the report of the Community Informatics
Network's NomCom process and the Community Informatics community's
nominations for appointment to the 1net Steering Committee as
representatives of the academic stakeholder group --Doug Schuler (USA) and
Cristian Berrio Zapata (Brazil)). Their biographies and qualifications for
such a status are included in the report. 

 

I look forward to receiving confirmation from you of the receipt of these
nominations and I trust that these nominations will be responded to in a
just and respectful manner recognizing the need overall for broad
inclusivity including of experience and orientation and that you/1net will
act in a manner reflective of the degree of transparency and accountability
to which all those associated with global Internet Governance aspire.

 

Mike

further evolution of the Internet governance ecosystem. 

 

The Nominating Committee's (NomCom) charge was to recommend four candidates
to participate in shaping the GMMFIC's work. The Nominating Committee 's
five voting members were David Nemer, Parminder Jeet Singh, Brian Beaton,
Chris Zielinski, and Charles Dhewa. After completing a careful review of the
position requirements and candidates, the NomCom chose the following:

Having closely followed the organization of the upcoming meeting in Brazil,
the NomCom's members added a codicil to their report, recommending that
their selectees also be charged with interfacing with the 1Net, an entity
assisting with organizing the April 23-23 Meeting.
