On-going Elections
by Lawrence O. Olawale-Roberts Nov. 8, 2021

Nov. 8, 2021

Dear All, This is hoping my mail meets you well and in great spirits. As a committee the task ahead of us is indeed immerse and the entire membership counts on us to extend the frontiers of our constituency. I am confident that in the months ahead, we can turn the tide of our committee for the better. We are currently in our committees election period and it is expected that everyone here (as all current members are eligible to continue) willing to continue serving the BC on this committee should announce their intention before the end of the 2 week period for all nominations drawing to a close soon. Members who do not announce their willingness to continue serving in the Communications committee or nominated by another member on the BC's private list would be regarded as unwilling to continue in office. Kindly note that all current members of the Communications committee shall receive in addition to others, a ballot to vote in a chair for the coming year as Chair elections are simply within members of each committee by the BC charter. We welcome nominations for the position of Chair before the close of nominations too. I am hopeful that by the close of nominations more members of the BC would seek to join our committee and that a more vibrant leadership will emerge. All best wishes. Lawrence Olawale-Roberts.

Welcome to the BC Communications Committee
by Lawrence O. Olawale-Roberts May 18, 2021

May 18, 2021

Dear BC Communications Committee Member, Congratulations! You made it to the BC's Communications Committee, now let's get started to work. On behalf of ExComm I would like to start by thanking you for volunteering your time and expertise to serve the BC in this capacity. I will be your liaison to the ExComm and in collaboration with Staff (Chantelle, Brenda and Joseph) we will do all in our capacity to help you through your mandate. Kindly forgive the lengthy nature of this mail, subsequent ones would be brief. The first assignment for this Committee would be the election of a Chair from amongst the three elected members namely Vivek Goyal, Yusuph Kileo and Toba Obaniyi. Kindly let me know if you have a choice for a consensus candidate otherwise an election time and ballots will be shared amongst the three of you eligible. Prior to now, Chantelle has managed the BC's Social media handles while Joseph helps coordinate updates to the BC website. These tasks would now fall under the preview of the Communications Sub-committee as would others. The Communications committee would be responsible for the creation and publication of a softcopy version of our BC Newsletter (BC Digest…or a catchier name you may suggest) envisioned to be published periodically every month, whilst a hardcopy version before every ICANN public meeting will be sustained. The electronic newsletter asides featuring news items around the work of the BC and what some BC members in their various spheres of endeavor are undertaking, could also advertise opportunities small businesses within our membership would love to explore. A regular feature could be a spotlight on an existing member of the BC, whilst new members joining the BC could also be featured in a section. It is envisaged that a Mailchimp account would be needed for this purpose. The BC Communications Committee is expected to help in the creation of content that can serve as outreach tool kits across a variety of mediums. Such content would be fit for use in our periodic newsletters, on our social media channels and on the BC website. This team would constantly need to review the existing BC website and recommend improvements to all spheres of the site including all social media handles of the BC. Your mandate includes ensuring all current archives are preserved and that BC website remains user friendly and fully automated to meet all future need. The task of keeping all information on our social media handles up to date also lies with this committee. Would a Hootesuite account or similar be appropriate for the management of our online presence. Apologies for double posting this mail, but its to ensure everyone gets it. Going forward only the Committee's mailing list address (bc-communications(a)icann.org) would be copied. Once again on behalf of ExCom and the BC, I thank you all for your willingness to serve and to help lift the heavy work around our finance. Thanks All. Lawrence Olawale-Roberts. Vice-Chair Finance & Operations, BC. -- Lawrence Olawale-Roberts _Managing Director/CEO_ p: +2348056 3333 18 / 9 m: +2348070892705 a: Suite 7, 1st floor, Right Wing, Z.M.Plaza, Plot 1469, Ahmadu Bello Way, Area 11, Garki 2, Abuja, Nigeria. w: www.microboss.org [1] e: lawrence(a)microboss.org [2] [3] [4] [5] This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be protected by legal, professional or other privilege.
