[governance] Scoping the Work of the current MAG NomCom - was... Preliminary List of Nominees for the 2013 MAG - REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

Tue Jan 15 12:53:04 EST 2013

in response to your initial one.

A shorter list with new names is a very straight forward and strategic  
step. Wishing the NomCom all the best for this endeavor.

Best,

Valeria
