[governance] CSCG CHAIR

[Ginger Paque]

Thanks very much, Wolfgang, much appreciated. I do hope you and others will
continue to feed in to our work...

As a reminder, both CSCG and MAG members appreciate comments and
suggestions, especially before and during our work, so we can discuss,
adapt, include, and propose.

I welcome your comments on this list and in private.

Best wishes,
Ginger
