<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear people,<BR><BR>It is important to take into account that,
as facilitator of the online<BR>voting process by the LA&C Caucus, I am
expressing these concerns<BR>regarding regional balance in the final list of
indications by the IGC<BR>NomCom on behalf of the LA&C Caucus -- who has
submitted a list of five<BR>names to the IGC (and to the IGF secretariat as
well), and this is what<BR>makes it even more difficult to understand the
NomCom's decision<BR>regarding our region.<BR><BR>frt
