[governance] Stepping down as IGC 08 Nomcom chair.

[Carlos Afonso]

The secretariat's announcement seems to be an indication of the bloody 
(internecine and otherwise) struggles going on behind curtains to 
dispute the very few places in the MAG. As a person who has participated 
in this process formally or informally since the beginning of the WSIS 
process in general and the WGIG in particular, I think aloud: is it 
really worth it beyond the personal imagery and added CV lines?

In any case, our region has done its job as much as it could, indicating 
five names. Let us see what the outcome of this imbroglio will be...
