[bestbits] Re: [CoNE-elist 679] Re: Open Letter by Indian civil society organizations to the Chair of the 'MMFIG' being held in Brazil, April, 2014

[Anja Kovacs]

I don't think we should provide an alternative ourselves - that is not the
point, and if the organisers have appointed a member of the HLMC as
co-chair for another stakeholder group, they know that this is an option.

We could perhaps indicate that the Joint NomCom under Ian's leadership is
ready to provide any support or feedback that the Chair might need on this
decision - that is if the Joint NomCom agrees to taking up this role of
course.

Best,
Anja
