Just reiterating the importance (and urgency) of what Sala has pointed
out in the message below. An election of a co-coordinator to replace
Arsene should be held now as a matter of urgency: and if Bruna does not
feel able to continue, maybe a double vacancy should be declared.
Bruna, there are people here willing and able to help you move forward
with this if it seems to difficult. Just ask.
But doing nothing is not an option. IGC's credibility is at stake if it
cannot manage simple processes and regularly elect co-coordinators as
required in its Charter.
