Therefore, indeed, selections for reps from 'academic and
technical' community should have considered nominations of both
'technical' and academic persons, from anywhere and everywhere .
It is absolutely wrong to limit it to those who work for technical
bodies. It is also wrong to limit this category to technical
people alone or to technical academics and exclude other academics
connected to Internet matters. It seems that the focal point for
nominations for this community has committed either both or at
least the latter of these two errors. <br>

So, what to do? I don't think it would be out of place for the IGC
to write a letter to ISOC and/or to the Chair of the CSTD Working
Group pointing out the error. Civil society has a valid role as
watchdog to play here, and furthermore constitutes a large part of
the cross-cutting constituency that ISOC is supposed to be
representing. I would be happy to help draft a letter, if there was
any chance that the Caucus could reach a rough consensus to send it
(which I'm unsure of).<div class="im"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>[ST>] Please go ahead and draft a letter and we can always put it to the community to solicit their input and comments. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
