[bc-gnso] Committee appointments -- Credentials and Finance committees -- call for volunteers

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

we have 3 open slots on these two committees (which are appointed by the 
Executive Committee for one-year terms)

        Finance Committee -- 2 positions

        Credentials Committee -- 1 position (mine)

here's a link to our charter if you would like more information about the 
duties of the committees;

        http://www.bizconst.org/charter.htm

neither of these committees will require travel to meet face-to-face.  most of 
the work will be done by email with the occasional teleconference.  my 
experience on the Credentials Committee was that typically there were 2-3 
rounds of email for each applicant so it's a modest time commitment -- although 
it would be fantastic if we could deliver a deluge of applicants for the 
committee to review!  the Finance Committee is new, so there isn't any history 
there.  there is also a lot of work to do at the beginning (crafting a new 
budget, laying down some new processes), so the Finance Committee is likely to 
be a more demanding job.  at least for the first few months.

please consider helping out with these!  one of our goals is to broaden the 
participation in the leadership of the constituency and this is a great 
opportunity to do that.   i think we (the executive committee) would like to 
fill these slots quickly, either during or just after the Nairobi meeting.  so 
please do take a moment and decide whether these are activities that you would 
like to participate in -- and let us know if you do.  Here's a link to a really 
short survey where you can do that;

thanks!
