deadline for this is Monday, 26<sup>th</sup>? The Nomcom is on a very tight
schedule as it is required to get names to the Secretariat by February 15.

nominations, it’s best we make every possible effort to give them time to
consider nominations thoroughly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of candidates possible, so that IGC can select some excellent names to forward
to the Secretariat for consideration. So please consider nominating someone else,
or self-nominating, which is fine, by the deadline. Due to circumstances beyond
our control this process has had to be conducted in a very tight timeframe, so
please give some thought over the next few days to boosting the field of
nominees. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
