<DIV>Yes, good to say many of our current members maintained, but the new
members are a little disappointing (although I am personally pleased to see EU
Pirate Party MP Amelia Andersdotter included) And thanks to Qusai for his long
term involvement on our behalf which ended with this renewal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But none of the new nominations from Best Bits, IGC, Diplo, and APC – all
of whom nominated separately – were included. At the time, Sala and Norbert
commenced a series of discussions with other groups, aiming at getting
together a common slate of candidates. That did not succeed within this
timeframe, although there was some cross-endorsement. So various civil society
groups nominated separately and the lack of a common set of candidates probably
did not help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since then the groups have started to work together on nominations to other
bodies, which I think is a step in the right direction. But that effort needs
some substantial work, and some changes, if it is to go forward. But perhaps
this might be an additional catalyst towards co-operative efforts.</DIV>
