Nominations for NetMundial Coordination Council Open Until 15 December

[Flávio Rech Wagner]

Dear Carlos

I forwarded your question to the NMI secretariat.

They answered me that:
- If the nominee is from the staff of the entity, it would be more 
appropriate that he/she is nominated for the technical community seats.
- If the nominee is a representative of one of the various sectors 
(government, business, civil society, academia / technical), then it 
would be more appropriate that he/she is nominated for the seats of the 
respective sector.

Best regards

Flavio
