[governance] ICANN Nominating Committee selection results

[Mawaki Chango]

For some reasons, that '-rine' [rin] at the end of the name has a feminine
ring to my ears, too (all puns intended ;-)) and I would have some
preference for the idea that the person is a lady. But hey, whatever your
gender Cherine Chalaby, congratulations and good luck!

Chapeau aussi à toi Bertrand pour ton engagement, ton énergie et tes
sacrifices vis-à-vis toutes choses politique de l'Internet!
