Last days to vote for civil society representatives
There are only a few more days left to participate in the selection of civil society representatives. Review the candidates and cast your vote by Monday 28 September 2009
Civil society organizations (CSO) are invited to participate in the self-selection process for four observers to the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board. Over 50 nominations have been submitted and voting is now open to elect civil society representatives from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and developed countries. Key criteria are: - Only civil society organizations are permitted to vote. Incomplete ballots will not be counted.
- Each CSO can cast one vote for one preferred candidate for each of the four regional observer positions – Africa, Latin American and Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, and the developed world.
- An organization with offices in multiple countries is treated as a single entity, eligible for one vote per region.
- Candidates may vote for themselves, and for observers in the three other regions.
* Download the ballot here Ballots must be e-mailed to csoselection@un-redd.org before 5:00 pm EST on 28 September 2009. Election results will be announced on 1 October 2009. The selected observers will attend the 3rd meeting of the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board in Washington, D.C., USA, on 29-30 October 2009.
