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

Dear all,

Just to flag that I'd be interested in a 1net steering committee role as
well.

And Jeremy, in terms of process, could you maybe clarify though whether the
CS coordination group is planning to select people as representatives of a
particular network, or simply as CS representatives? I would argue that the
latter makes more sense, but it would be good to know what the coordination
group has in mind.

Many thanks,
Anja
