Betreff: [governance] Civil Society Members in Geneva



Hi there,

I want to let you know that civil society members in Geneva worked
extremely hard during the open consultation and the open MAG meeting.
Those identify with civil society were: APC Anriette Esterhuysen and Joy
Liddicoat, Marilia Maciel, Adam Peake, and Bill Drake. Please apologize
me if I forgot of anyone else.

All the best,

Katitza
