We are very happy to announce the results of the election for the first Global
Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN)’ Steering Committee !
The election was conducted from 3rd to 16th
September 2013 by an independent Elections Committee consisting of different members
representing many countries and world regions. After a call for
self-nominations was opened in August asking to all potential candidates to
submit their application, the following individuals were all qualified and suitable to run for the
GYBN first Steering Committee: Achmad Solikhin ; Shankar Adhikari ; Dayna
Noltie ; Shailyn Drukis ; Mirna Ines Fernández ; Mesfin Hailemariam ; Tomas Badura;
Christian Schwarzer ; Melina Sakiyama ; Arunava Datta, and Lemuel Vega. A full
profile of these candidates can be viewed at : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByhqWPOW0K29T0FpM2pObWwwaW8/edit?pli=1
Only registered members of GYBN (those who registered until 4th of
August 2013 in the network’s mailing list) and with an age of 30 or younger were allowed to vote. After
a double checking of the above mentioned conditions, an electorate list was
established and the Elections Committee sent to all eligible voters a voting code along with all voting instructions
in a personal email. They were given fourteen (14) days to cast their vote
in an online and secured platform. The general mailing list of GYBN was also
kept in the updates regarding the elections so that everyone was aware and
informed on this.
From
September 3rd to 16th, 2013 twenty five (25) GYBN
registered members out of 100 eligible voters have casted their vote online to
choose the best and suitable candidates. The Elections Committee met from 17th
to 22nd September to verify the accurate of the votes, count the
votes and prepare the elections results’ announcement.
