[Iyrp-gcg] IYRP Coordination

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear Jurgen and all

Let me reassure you, and I know I speak on behalf of Jim, Barb and Ann,
that we are not leaving IYRP, we are simply taking a step back. We believe
there is a need for fresh thoughts and approaches to keep the network
strong, evolving and growing during the coming years, and to achieve a real
impact and outcome in 2026.

Also, none of us will just abandon our posts! Clearly there will be a
transition period for identification, briefing and hand-over to the new
Core Team. And it may occur one by one just simply as and when new folks
step up. But for everyone's sake, it is best that we see this transition
process through as quickly and smoothly as possible. Again, rest assured
that none of us wants to rock the boat too much - and we will continue to
support IYRP in one way or another (as mentioned in the Note).

We also thought that the next meeting of the GCG could discuss this Note,
including the slight restructuring that it proposes.
And I also encourage you all to please start to think of volunteering
and/or suggesting possible candidates.
Having said that, I hereby volunteer my candidacy for the role of
Coordinator of the Global Events Sub-Group, if creating such a Sub-group is
agreeable to all. ☺

Maryam
