Dear Heads of FIU,
As Mr. Marko Stolle informed, he needs to leave the FIU of Germany, effective in February 2021.
Therefore, once the IEWG virtual meeting’s scheduled from February1-4 are concluded, Mr. Stolle’s role as Chair of the IEWG will come to an end which is before the projected end of his tenure.
The role of the working groups is fundamental for the Egmont Group to accomplish its mission of development, cooperation, and sharing of expertise among FIUs.
This email represents a call interest to Heads of FIUs, to submit nominations for the position of IEWG Chair. This is an excellent opportunity for you, or a senior member of your staff, to significantly contribute to the work of the Egmont Group.
The Voting Rules for the Election of Chairs and Vice-Chairs states that there is an eleven (11) week period to submit nominations for the position of IEWG Chair. However, given the exceptional situation we are facing, having in mind that Mr. Marko Stolle is leaving the IEWG before the end of his tenure and considering that the IEWG leadership currently has three Vice-Chair positions that are vacant, the IEWG Chairmanship is in a precarious situation
A similar situation occurred in 2018 when former IEWG Chair - Mr. Peter Clark left the IEWG and a shortened six week call for volunteers was sent out and Mr. Marko Stolle was elected.
Therefore, based on this exceptional situation the timing to submit nominations will be for a six (6) week period.
The process for nomination will require the Head of an FIU to submit a written nomination for themselves; or where a suitably senior representative other than the Head of FIU is to be nominated. The nomination is to take the form of a letter. Such letter should also contain a written commitment confirming that there are sufficient resources in their “home” FIU to enable the nominee to satisfy the roles and responsibilities of the post of IEWG Chair.
The nominations are to be forwarded by ESW e-mail addressed to the Executive Secretary of the Egmont Group (jerome.beaumont@egmontsecretariat.org). The Executive Secretary will review the nominations to ensure that all appropriate information is received from the candidates. The nominations must be submitted by Monday, February 22, 2021.
Description of Working Group Chair and Vice-Chair positions
The Working Group Chair is responsible for setting the agenda and presiding over all meetings of the WG, as well as presenting outcomes of its meetings and projects at the Egmont Committee and Plenary meeting. This work is supported by the Working Group Vice-Chair(s) and at least one Senior Officer from the Egmont Group Secretariat.
The Working Group Chair also represents the WG in the Egmont Committee and through the Egmont Committee to third parties particularly regarding matters within the scope of the activities of the WG. The Working Group Chair is responsible for reporting to the Egmont Committee on progress made by the WG.
In the event that the Working Group Chair is unavailable to attend to the duties noted above, one Working Group Vice-Chair will act in their stead.
The position of the Working Group Chair requires time, dedication, and resources. The Working Group Chair will be required to attend all meetings of the WG and the EC and prepare reports, presentations, and other updates. Currently, there are two annual WG meetings plus one additional EC meeting. Therefore, at a minimum, the Working Group Chair is required to attend three EG meetings per year. The cost for attending the meetings must be covered by the respective FIU.
Please be aware that the IEWG will select a nominee and not an FIU as the next incumbent of the role of IEWG Chair.
Thank you very much in advance for your active involvement!
Best regards,
Jérôme Beaumont
Executive Secretary
