institutions, and foundations. Efforts will be made to include
expertise from countries and regions where MCC operates, within the
resource constraints of MCC to support logistic costs. Qualified
individuals may self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or
organization. To be considered for the EAC, nominators should submit
the following information:
<bullet> Name, title, organization (if applicable), and relevant
contact information (including phone, mailing address, and email
address) of the individual being nominated;
<bullet> A letter containing a brief biography for the nominee and
description of why the nominee should be considered for membership; and
<bullet> CV including professional and academic credentials.
Please do not send company or organization brochures or any other
information. Materials submitted should not exceed two pages, excluding
CV. If MCC needs more information, MCC staff will contact the nominee,
obtain information from the nominee's past affiliations, or obtain
information from publicly available sources.
All members of the EAC will be independent of MCC, representing the
views and interests of their respective institution or area of
expertise and not serving as special government employees. All members
will serve without compensation. The duties of the EAC are solely
advisory and any determinations to be made or actions to be taken on
the basis of EAC advice will be made or taken by appropriate officers
of MCC.
A selection team will review the nomination packages and make
recommendations regarding membership to the MCC Vice President of the
Department of Policy and Evaluation (or the person acting in such
capacity) based on criteria including: (1) professional experience and
knowledge; (2) academic field and expertise; (3) experience within
regions in which MCC works; (4) contribution of diverse regional or
technical professional perspectives; and (5) availability and
willingness to serve. Based upon the selection team's recommendations,
the MCC Vice President of the Department of Policy and Evaluation (or
the person acting in such capacity) will select representatives.
In the selection of members for the EAC, MCC will seek to ensure a
balanced representation and consider a cross-section of those directly
affected, interested, and qualified, as appropriate to the nature and
functions of the EAC. Nominees selected for appointment to the EAC will
be notified by email and receive a letter of appointment.
Nominations are open to all individuals without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, age, mental or physical
disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or location.
