[bestbits] [MAG 2018 ELECTIONS] CSCG call for nominations to Best Bits

[Sheetal Kumar]

Dear all,

As a final reminder, please send nominations for the MAG positions to the
CSCG by *COB today, Tuesday*. Self nominations are welcome, please just
send your Statement of Interest (all details included in my previous email
below) to nomcom11 at internetgov-cs.org and myself.

Nominations from all regional groupings, and in particular from women (due
to a disproportionate lack received so far) are welcome.

Best
Sheetal.
