“Chair(s) should have a solid understanding of communications strategies; ability to develop clear and concise messaging; strong writing and editing skills; expertise in verbally communicating/presenting to global audiences; and excellent planning, organizational, execution and time management skills. Academic background in a relevant discipline is desirable, with hands-on communications experience (in-house or agency).”

Dear all,

 

On the direction of UASG leadership team, we are inviting self-nominations along with a brief Statement of Interest (SOI) for the positions of chair or vice chair of the UASG Working Group (WG). The self-nomination (indicating the chair or vice chair position) + SOI should be emailed to the WG’s email list by 30 Nov. 2020 (UTC 1200).  Existing chair and vice-chair are eligible as well.

 

WG members may provide additional input or support for the candidates who self-nominate, and possibly develop a rough consensus for consideration by the UASG leadership team by 9 Dec. 2020 (UTC 1200)

 

Based on the feedback received from the WG by 9 Dec. 2020 (UTC 1200), the UASG leadership team will nominate the WG chair and vice-chair for the term from 1 Jan. till 31 Dec. 2021.

 

Background:

You may already know that the chairs and vice chairs of UASG WGs are appointed for one calendar year by the UASG leadership team, as per the WG charters [uasg.tech]. The UASG leadership team has suggested that for practically managing these (re-)appointments, these appointments be aligned with the calendar years, from 1 Jan. to 31 Dec. each year. 

  

Regards,
Sarmad
