Hi all,<br>Congratulations to everyone of the nominees and we look forward to receiving the NomCom report. Meanwhile, I think it's also clear a review of current selection process/procedure is needed based on comments/concerns made so far.<br>
<br>I think this is not an indictment on anyone in particular but rather a sincere call to ensure representation and diversity without leaving any group behind.<br><br>Again, to the nominees, i say Congrats....(especially to the African team)<br>

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>
