Iliya: Thanks for the nominations. Bill Drake is American, although he currently resides in Europe, so I will put him in the "North American, policy" slot as a nominee for consideration. Karen Banks I assume is European? >>> Iliya Nickelt <[log in to unmask]> 08/20/04 04:51AM >>> To make the decision more challenging, I would like to recommend Karen Banks from APC. Any reason why we should not promote one of our own members? And, speaking of Europeans, we could also consider Bill Drake. Any ideas for the other regions? --iliya
