[bestbits] Civil Society Coordination Group - chair and BB representative positions open

[Nadira Alaraj]

Dear All,
I would like to thank Renata for her kind nomination.
It was great to attend the BestBits meeting and get to be familiar with the
many of you behind the emails.
Although the responsibilities entailed is within my competency, and I'm
familiar with many civil society organizations but my focus and involvement
is in MENA region.
I still see it is early for me to be among those nominated for this role,
however if you seem to accept someone with some faults along the learning
curve then I have no problem of being considered in the nomination list.
Best wishes,
Nadira
