Webmaster: So here is the new list of people, I kindof was surprised, that the call was opened for the second time, but now I see a lot of good new names on the list, so I believe that this was a good idea. Please, if you know any of the people on the list and believe that they should be DCA's, do vote for them, do send an email to Can and give him your feedback. What I believe that we need is DCA's from different backgrounds Dear debaters,
After opening the DCA applications phase for a further two days, we now have a far longer list of potential candidates. I realize that some people have already sent feedback about the earlier list of candidates and want to assure them that they can send another mail if they so wish! Again, thank you to everyone who has already written to me – I am learning a lot and want to make sure that we have the best possible team (on a number of different metrics) for Worlds in 2010. My pick would include Adriaan, Will, Daniel and Tuna... What would be your pick? Comment Asia

Webmaster: I've added this one to the WUDC 2010 category, because you should be informed about what are the bids, to know who to wote for!
Friends and Debaters everywhere!
I would like to proudly announce that the University of Botswana is bidding for the World Universities Debating Championships 2011. We've been working on hosting worlds for three years now, and we have so much in store for every one of you.
I would like to thank all the people here at home and in distant lands who supported us in the past as they continue to give us guidance. We look forward to your support again this year in Ireland!
Please join our facebook group for details and updates. Email us at

Koc 2010 DCA Applications Open and other news |
|
|
|
Friday, 07 November 2008 |
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
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
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
