[bestbits] Call for expressions of interest: 1net steering committee

[Joana Varon]

I agree with Anja, on both:
1) nominating Rafik and
2) reconsidering nominating all the 4 Brazilians to 1net (I'm not even sure
they all want/are available to fulfill this role, a question to double
check, I guess. Carol, Lau, CA?). I can also step back if needed.
