Dear Thomas and everyone,
I have already submitted some nominations to the NomCom for the appeals
team.
I think most, probably all of us believe in checks and balances, and the
appeals team seems to me to be just that for the IGC.
I didn't volunteer because I felt like something of a newcomer, but I
realise that I was at the face-to-face meeting in Hyderabad in 2008, so
really I've been around for quite a long time.
And besides this sounds like a desperate case :-)
And there is a good chance that the appeals team will never have to do
anything anyway.
So I volunteer, and I hope that between today and tomorrow lots of other
people will too.
Best wishes and good luck to the NomCom
Deirdre
