Nominations for NetMundial Coordination Council Open Until 15 December

[Carlos Raul Gutierrez]

Thank you very much for the fine summary Bill.

Our local equivalent, cgi.cr is interested in participating, although we
don`t know in which box we fit in as we have representatives from all 4
sectors.

Who is the person you contacted in cgi.br so we can ask them too?

Best regards
