  • Message from Philippe Dam CONGO - WSIS CS Secretariat ( 03 December 2007 ) :
    The CS NomCom has finalized today and the selection of the recommendation for the CS membership in the GAID Strategy Council. A letter was sent to the GAID Secretariat to inform it that the following CS representatives are supported to join the GAID Strategy Council, in which 3 or 4 seats are open to rotation:
    • Mr. Micheal Gurstein (CS affiliations: Global Telecentre Alliance, Telecentres of the Americas Partnership, Telecommunities Canada, Vancouver Community Network, Association for Community Networking; Canada)
    • Mr. Parminder Jeet Singh (IT for Change, Bangalore; India)
    • Ms. Viola Krebs (ICVolunteers; Switzerland)
    • Ms. Linda Misek-Falfoff (Respectful Interfaces; USA)
    It was noted by the NomCom members that while the gender balance was fully respected, it appeared not possible to find a consensus which completely respected the geographic balance, while this concern was fully taken in consideration by the NomCom members.
    Let me thank the 5 NomCom members (Ezendu Ariwa, Luis Pouzin, Ginger Paque, Delphine Nana and Hakikur Rahman) for the fact that they all took their function extremely seriously, and gave required time and commitment to make this process very smooth (and pleasant for the facilitator).
    Keep in mind that the UN Secretary-General will still take the final decision regarding the rotation in the GAID membership.
    You will be kept informed about the up coming developments in this regard.
