[governance] Re: [bestbits] Letters from Indian Civil Society organisations to the Chair of NetMundial regarding appointment of civil society co-chair

steer their agenda as the co-chair and that is why they lost?

Can we say with confidence that Chaturvedi will(not) represent the
interests of the Civil Society?
