<p class="MsoNormal">First of all, big thanks should go to Ian and everybody at
the Nomcom for carrying out this task in a smooth and transparent manner, in
such a short period of time. <span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, I would like to congratulate Nomcom for
taking into account regional and gender balance. I do believe that the WG can
be enriched by increasing its diversity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would also like to thank you for the trust you have put in
me. It is a great responsibility and I will do my very best to constructively contribute
to the discussions in the WG, if I happen to get chosen to be part of it at the
end of the process.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Imran raised some important points on the “mandate” of IGC
representatives. Although some things will certainly be discussed on the spot,
probably without time for consultation, I believe it is extremely important to
be based on IGC´s main positions. There are contributions and statements produced
and a collation of the main ones could be interesting. It is also important to
have constant communication and accountability. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Just some initial thoughts.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marília</p>

Hi Imran,<br>
<br>
Good questions! But these are for the IGC as a whole, not the Nomcom to<br>
answer.<br>
