<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I appreciate Milton's and Adam's comments. It is indeed a form of civic duty and I also volunteer for the NomCom, although I am interested in the MAG. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Avri's comment in a prliminary mail was as usual right on spot : "even people who might be willing to serve on the MAG should volunteer for the nomcom pool and trust that fate, or chance, will put you in the job you can do the most good in".
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Without making it a compulsory rule, it is probaly something that should be encouraged : anybody contemplating participating in the MAG should ideally previously volunteer for the NomCom. Not doing so would only mean they are more eager to get the - supposedly - prestigious status rather than the more humble - and somewhat likely to be under fire - one.

<div>Best</div>

<br><br>I will volunteer for the nomcom as well. If not selected for the Nomcom via random means, I would like to be a North American representative on the MAG, but it is I think serious participants in the caucus to take the obligation for the caucus to function seriously enough to get their priorities straight.
