[bestbits] input from past MAG CS reps pls? Re: Short listing proposal of candidates to CSCG for MAG2016

Mon Jan 25 17:23:01 EST 2016

should ask for help and input. It can be a lonely and hard role, so
collaboration with others can be a way to empower and give more
confidence/sense of security in her/his actions as a CS representative to
MAG.
