[bc-gnso] January-February 2010

["BC Secretariat" <secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members

First, I would like to wish all BC members a very happy new year. Here's to an 
excellent 2010 for the constituency as it moves into a new phase.

As you are aware, the Officers have asked me to continue as Secretariat until 
the end of February. For clarity, I am now working to a new agreement on a 
consultancy basis. My responsibilities during this period are:

- to manage the nominations and elections for the Executive Committee
- to effect a handover to the Executive Committee once elected
- to assist in defining the role of a new Secretariat for March 2010 onwards

I will be announcing the opening of a nomination period for the Executive 
Committee elections later today. I will also give an outline of the nomination 
and election processes according to the new BC Charter.

Best wishes
Gary
