[governance] Re: URGENT: Call for candidates to IGC co-coordinatorship

[Mawaki Chango]

I am confirming that we have received nominations for three candidates as
follows:

- Analia Aspis
- Arsene Tungali
- Kawsar Uddin

If there were other candidates left out from the above list, please let me
know. I'll directly get in touch shortly with the candidates in order to
prepare the poll which will be open sometime early January.

Thanks,

Mawaki
