=================================================
CONTRACT POSITION AT APC: Global Internet Rights Coordinator
=================================================

APC is seeking a Global Coordinator for our Civil Society Internet
Rights work, full-time for an initial 6-month contract

Since 1990, the Association for Progressive Communications
(APC) - http://www.apc.org - has been working with civil society
organisations and social movements around the world to harness
information and communication technologies (ICTs) for social justice
and development.

APC is implementing a global-level Internet policy awareness-
raising programme that focuses on creating resources and opportunities
for discussion and learning about the impact of Internet policy
decisions on civil society, through civil society engagement and
capacity-building, as well as by intervening in key policy decision-
making fora.

Citizens and organisations that want to ensure that the Internet
remains a tool and a venue for promoting social and environmental
justice, development and democracy, are struggling to navigate the
terrain of global, regional, and national Internet governance, policy
and regulation. They know that the Internet presents governance
challenges, and they also know that they do not want their rights
infringed. But they frequently do not know which issues are on the
agenda, who is debating and deciding them, how their lives and
work could be affected, and how to get involved. APC wants to
change this situation.

OBJECTIVE OF THIS POSITION:
To strategically develop and coordinate APC's overall Internet
Rights (IR) work, including:
- facilitating the development of APC's position on key issues
- building and managing strategic partnerships
- optimizing learning and resource allocation
- coordinating APC's regional IR work
- coordinating and integrating APC IR media, events, promotions and outreach.

Application Deadline: March 20, 2002
Contract Start Date: April 2002

MAIN AREAS OF WORK:

. Ensure effective overall management and coordination of APC
Internet Rights work at the global level, and overall management of all
APC regional ICT policy projects and project staff.

. Optimise learning and resource allocation between APC's IR
initiatives, including regional IR projects, and the IR and gender policy
work of the APC-WNSP.

. Strengthen APC's profile in the IR field at the global level by
publicizing our work and by building strategic alliances with other
actors in the field.

. Build understanding, awareness and engagement within the APC
member community on IR and Internet policy issues and develop
and implement APC's strategic direction in the IR field.

. Work with the Programmes and Projects Manager to plan and
fundraise for the long-term sustainability of APC's IR work, regionally
and globally.

REMUNERATION:
The remuneration for this 6-month full-time contract (expected to
run from April to September 2002) will be negotiated depending on
skills, qualifications and experience. Contract renewal is dependent
on job performance review and on securing long-term funds for the
position.

ORGANISATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS:
The incumbent will report to the APC Executive Director, and will
also work regularly with:
. the APC Programmes and Projects Manager on the management of APC's
regional IR projects
. APC's ICT Policy Monitor teams in other regions (Europe, Latin
America, Asia)
. the APC-WNSP gender and Internet Rights working group
. the APC project team
. the APC member community

Most of the work will take place in 'online discussion' spaces, email
groups and mailing lists. Although there may be some travel, APC
work takes place primarily online.

HOW TO APPLY:
Please send a CV, and a statement of interest IN ENGLISH that
includes the following information:

. description of your interest in working with the APC on this project
. brief summary of your understanding of the key global-level ICT policy
issues, and how they relate to development and social justice
