[governance] IGC Nomcom - Slate of candidates

Wed Apr 23 07:45:51 EDT 2008

Dear people,

It is important to take into account that, as facilitator of the online
voting process by the LA&C Caucus, I am expressing these concerns
regarding regional balance in the final list of indications by the IGC
NomCom on behalf of the LA&C Caucus -- who has submitted a list of five
names to the IGC (and to the IGF secretariat as well), and this is what
makes it even more difficult to understand the NomCom's decision
regarding our region.
