Executive Coordinator & International Secretariat Search Process

NO BASES NETWORK - COORDINATOR & INTERNATIONAL SECRETARIAT SEARCH PROCESS
The International Coordinating Committee (ICC) of the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases (No Bases Network) is currently initiating a twin search process for an Executive Coordinator and an International Secretariat for the No Bases Network.

While these searches are distinct, they are also interrelated. The Executive Coordinator is an individual staff position. The search for an International Secretariat is intended to identify a geographical site for the worldwide headquarters of the No Bases Network. A key aspect of the search for the International Secretariat will be identifying an organization or local/national network that can offer support to the global No Bases Network by assisting the Executive Coordinator by providing logistical, administrative and programmatic support to run the office. For details please refer below to the Search Criteria for the International Secretariat of the No Bases Network as well as the job description for Executive Coordinator.

The International Organizing Committee (IOC) of the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases has coordinated the global work of the No Bases Network in recent years and has taken the initial steps to commence the twin search process. The newly established International Coordinating Committee (ICC) whose membership is comprised by regional representation is taking over the worldwide leadership of the No Bases Network and will continue the search and selection process. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to submit separate and distinct applications in response to both searches. Applications for the Executive Coordinator position may be also be submitted jointly with applications for hosting the International Secretariat.

The Search Process is guided by the following principles:

Participatory Democracy
Transparency
Decision by consensus (if consensus cannot be reached, decisions will take place by vote).
