This is an unusual situation, so hope I will be clear enough when trying to explain it: 1. Both Analia and myself (Arsene) will be nominating ourselves for the Civil Society MAG 2017 position. In that sense, since we are both IGC Co-coordinators, we cannot oversee the nomination process on the IGC list; we need to recuse ourselves for a short period of time to allow a fair, transparent selection process. That’s why we have contacted Mrs. Deidre Williams (former IGC Co-coordinator) to support us during this period until the selection process is concluded (up to 10 days). This means Deidre will be temporarily IGC Coordinator. 2. The CSCG (Civil Society Coordination Group, where IGC is a member) has decided to temporarily (until we gather more details and make an appropriate decision) to remove Mr. Wisdom Donkor (current 2nd IGC Rep on CSCG) from the Civil Society (CS) selection discussions given that we found out that he is representing the Government in the current MAG. In that sense, since he cannot represent both CS and Government at the same time and to avoid any possible conflict of interest, he will not represent IGC on the CSCG for now. We will start discussing his case within the IGC after we have gathered more information for an appropriate decision. Until then, Deidre Williams will be our 2nd IGC Representative on the CSCG. We welcome Deidre (again) and leave it to her to conduct the consultations and quick start the nomination process. Should you have any question or need any clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to come back to me.
