[governance] Re: [bestbits] Re: [CoNE-elist 679] Re: Open Letter by Indian civil society organizations to the Chair of the 'MMFIG' being held in Brazil, April, 2014

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

+1 for the letter - so far I believe the only person I can find in google by that name is an assistant professor of marketing with a former career as a PR exec.

Also +1 for your suggestion that we not tie the organizers' hands by proposing such a specific alternative.
