[EC-NCSG] dealing with 9 pending membership applications from the new online form

[Dorothy K. Gordon]

I suggest they give a full list of the membership indicating affiliation and we use the same process for all groups with major commercial representation among their membership. Thanks

Hi All, here is the response to Rafik from Klaus: 


Klaus, as ED of GKPF, confirms the validity of my earlier response. He adds: 


"GKPF is undergoing a membership reform, but it should be stated clearly that GKPF is a multi stakeholder organization and has and always will engage private and governmental sector members, besides civil society members, in the spirit of multi sector partnerships. It is expected that a majority of GKPF members will continue to be from civil society" 


Klaus, can you please send in the names of the principal (and alternate) rep to replace Caroline Figueres, if you have not already done so? You had mentioned Andrei Barburas as principal? or as alternate? who is the other rep? I will pass on to NCSG-EC. 


Best, Alain

Hi Rafik, 


I have asked Klaus to answer your request for clarification and question - I do not know the current situation exactly, but you are right about a restructuration going on at GKPF - we went from a network (GKP) to a foundation (GKPF) structure a couple of years back. Generally speaking, GKPF is a MS and NFP organization, with a large majority of the membership being from civil society. In the past WB and MS were donors to GKP but not recently to GKPF. 


Best, Alain

Hi Robin, 


I would like to ask for clarification for the case of GKP because I saw in the organizations membership, they have Microsoft, alcatel-lucent, european commission, world bank, nokia-siemens network, understanding that GKP is trying to reform itself , are they still members or not?and what is the membership composition of GKP?

Dear NCSG-EC Members: 


I've tried to cobble together the various responses, votes and concerns raised about the membership applications we currently have pending from the online form. From what I can tell, here is where we are and what I propose we do with each application. 


On the following applications, RG, AB, LS, MM voted to approve: 
1. IC Volunteers 
2. EMERGE 
3. Antwain Thomas 
4. Manoj Khinchi 
5. Madhav Gopal Sharma 
I don't see a response from Rafik on these applications, but if there is no objection to them by the end of the week, I propose we accept these new members at that time. 


A few concerns were raised on the following applications, which may require some follow-up on our part: 


1. Global Knowledge Partnership 
RG & MM raised the concern that the person submitted to represent this organization (Caroline Figures) already represents IICD in NCSG and individuals are only allowed to represent 1 organization in NCSG at a time. --> Therefore it is suggested that GKP submit the name of someone else to represent this organization in NCSG. 


2. Daniel Yakmut 
MM & AB raise concern that he is applying for both membership both as an organization (rep of Federal Univ) and also as an individual. AB suggests he be accepted for one or the other, but not both. 


3. Federal University, Lafia 
MM & AB raise concern that Daniel Yakmut is applying for both membership both as an organization and also as an individual. MM raised concern that Daniel is not listed on University website or connected with university in any apparent way. 
--> It is suggested we accept Daniel as an individual membership, but not accept Federal University membership until representative can be verified. 


4. Asociaci?n Centro de Estudios, Capacitaci?n y An?lisis en Derechos Humanos 
MM raised concern that rep not listed on website and has a gmail address. AB supplied an org email address for rep. 
--> It is suggested we accept this organization's membership given the updated information. Unless anyone objects by the end of the week, I suggest we accept them. 


Thanks, 
Robin
