Aplly for DCA Team at Koc Worlds

From Can Okar:

Dear debaters of the world,

It is with great pleasure that I open the application phase for Deputy
Chief Adjudicator positions at Koc Worlds for 2010. As per our bid,
there will be one DCA position for each of four global regions: North
America, "Europe, Middle East and Africa" (EMEA), Asia and Oceania.
The application phase will be open until 21st November 2008. At this
point, I will ask for feedback from the debating community about the
candidacy of applicants for a further two week period. We will be in a
position to announce our Adjudication Team before the Council on 1st
January 2009.

If you are interested in becoming a DCA, I would like you to fill out
the form uploaded to the EUDC files section (if you have problems with
the file, get in touch at can_okar@hotmail.com and I will send it to
you ASAP). I should point out that there is one area in particular in
which I will be interested and that is examples of your organizational
skills and leadership capacity. Again, if there are any questions
regarding the form, get in touch.

I will be at the Oxford IV this weekend to discuss this and any other
issue with anyone who wants a chat. Before that, I want to apologize
for the delay in our pre-Worlds report to Council. At the risk of
sounding like John McCain, our excuse is largely to do with the impact
of the financial turmoil on our planning. Just so you don't panic,
that impact is largely positive as the euro is now much stronger
against the lira. This has given us an opportunity to renegotiate a
lot of our agreements with suppliers (in particular the hotel) so we
are holding off on reporting until we have something concrete to report.

I hope you can be patient – we will be unveiling some exciting plans
in due course.

I look forward to receiving applications for the DCA positions from
far and wide and will be in touch soon,

Can Okar
Provisional Chief Adjudicator, Worlds 2010
