[governance] Reminder: New IGC Representative on CSCG: Nomination Opens

Wed Aug 24 17:49:52 EDT 2016

Thanks Peter,

Your nomination is received and recorded.

To all: we still have time. Please do send in your nominations as well.

Fyi, the current CSCG Chair, Ian Peter is stepping down soon, so elections for a new Chair will happen soon as well. And, only group's representatives will be electing the new Chair/Co-chair.

Thanks,
A
