Hi Carlos et al. Thanks CGI.br & Carlos for taking care of the organization and logistics. What exactly do we need now? We have: - Robin cadidate for re-election on the GNSO Council; - Milton candidate for election as chair; - Norbert for re-election as ExCom Asia; - We need a candidate for ExCom Europ, right? (Ilya, do you know of anyone who could follow your path?) - Do we need candidate for any other position? e.g., ExCom Africa? others? Could the member organizations help us find candidates, please???
