That's seems fine to me - we realised that a combined nomination was ambitious, and the IGC's process is pretty self-contained.</div></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div style="orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">-- </span><br style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p style="font-size: 9pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto;"><b>Dr Jeremy Malcolm<br>Senior Policy Officer<br>Consumers International | the global campaigning voice for consumers</b><br>Office for Asia-Pacific and the Middle East<br>Lot 5-1 Wisma WIM, 7 Jalan Abang Haji Openg, TTDI, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<br>Tel: +60 3 7726 1599</p><p style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Explore our new Resource Zone - the global consumer movement knowledge hub |</span><a href="http://www.consumersinternational.org/news-and-media/resource-zone" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">http://www.consumersinternational.org/news-and-media/resource-zone</a></p><p style="font-size: 9pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">@Consumers_Int | <a href="http://www.consumersinternational.org/">www.consumersinternational.org</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/consumersinternational">www.facebook.com/consumersinternational</a></p><p style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-size: 8pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Read our <a href="http://www.consumersinternational.org/email-confidentiality" target="_blank">email confidentiality notice</a>.
