In order to respect the geographical representation rule, members from the following regions may opt for election to the Steering Committee:
- Government: Africa; Europe; North America; West Asia.
- Business: Africa; Latin America and Caribbean; North America; West Asia.
- Science & Civil Society: only INDIVIDUAL members from Africa; Asia/Pacific; Latin America and Caribbean; West Asia (Note: there are no open positions for institutional members of this constituency until next year).
If you would like to stand for election to represent your constituency in the Steering Committee, you may send your application — including a short description of your motivation and qualification to be in the Steering Committee — until the 17th September by close of business in Europe via e-mail to feng.wang@un.org. The profiles of the candidates standing for election will be shared via e-mail to all Initiative members by 20th September.
