[*** Apologies for duplicate e-mails due to cross-posting ***] Dear Colleagues,
This year, AfriNIC will run several Elections and according to our usual process, these elections must be supervised by a Nomination & Election committee appointed by the board. The committee should be composed as followed: o 1 or 2 Members appointed by the board (from a non-open seat) o 2 or 3 Volunteers appointed from the community (from a different sub-regions than the opened Board seat's). To fill these positions, AfriNIC is seeking three volunteers to serve as members of the 2011 Nomination and Election committee. The NomCom membership is a voluntary position whose responsibilities include: * Conduct, moderate and coordinate the elections procedures and processes for all the elections planned in 2011: Board, Policy WG Chairs and ASO-AC. * Calling for Nominations for the elections * Evaluate the Candidates * Propose the final list of nominees before the elections * Collect and evaluate comments received from the community on the nominees * Supervise the counting of the votes * Announce the final results of the votes The Nomination Committee members will choose a Chair among themselves who will be the focal point between them (the committee), the AfriNIC community and the Bard where needed. AfriNIC staff will be made available to support the Nomination Committee in their work (compiling of nominations, compiling of comments, mailing list, web site update for elections, communication with nominees etc.,). The Nomcom volunteers are expected to be: * Neutral - Have no interest in the results of the elections - * Not intend to for any open seat. * A trusted member of the AfriNIC community. * Willing to serve as a member in the Nomination committee and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities. If you are interested in serving in this position, please send an expression of interest, including a short biography by email to: [email protected]. The nomination deadline is Wednesday, 23 March 2011 at 1800 UTC. For more information about AfriNIC please visit http://www.afrinic.net/about.htm or contact us at [email protected].
