Call to nominate candidates for Election of HIC President

Dear Members of Habitat International Coalition
(HIC),

Receive the warm regards from the Electoral
Committee (EC) members that are
conducting the process for the election of the next HIC President for the
2015-2019 term.

On July 1st 2015, the members of the EC have
approved by majority the Calendar
for the Electoral process that can be found on
https://hicpresident2015.wordpress.com/agenda/.

We are
now launching the process with the candidates’ nomination starting today,
Friday July 3rd 2015 and lasting until Friday July 24th 2015
(11:59pm
GMT).

Therefore,
we now call on all HIC Members in good standing to actively participate
in this electoral process in order to promote an opportunity
to
debate, exchange ideas and opinions on the mission and current and future
tasks of HIC.


Requirements
to be a HIC Member in good standing:

According
to the requirements of the HIC Constitution (http://www.hic-gs.org/document.php?pid=4795) and the Presidential and
Board
Election and Representation By-law (http://www.hic-gs.org/document.php?pid=5725), only organization Members in good
standing with their contributions will have the right to nominate candidates
and vote.
There are
different ways to contribute:
– The
contributions other than dues include active participation in the tasks and
activities of the Coalition, shared by the Member in the Member
Space.
These contributions are aligned with the HIC strategy and support to the
consolidation of the Coalition. The list of contributions can be found in
the HIC By-Law and in the Member Space. Each activity is completed
by gender indicators (if applicable). The Member should log into his
Member Space with access codes to load its contributions to HIC.

Monetary contributions are annual fees defined by a sliding scale that is
directly related to the annual budget. The minimum fee is 50 US$ or 40 € per
year and is valid for 365 days.
Each
member may choose the type of contribution s/he wants to make. The evaluation
of the membership status will be based on these contributions. The contributions
give organizations the benefit to have the Member organization’s
representatives to nominate, be nominated and to vote for the
election of HIC President.

* Check
your Member status on 27/07/2015.
