Meet the candidates - Q&A on the list!

[Olivier Kouami]

+1 @Tomslin.
My contribution/question is as followed.
IMHO, the lack of more participation and involvement of the community in
the NCSG works is due to the lack of a real diversity promotion within this
ecosystem. The problem of the language of work is one of the main one.
Is it possible, at least, to benefit from interpretation and translation in
others languages ie french, spanish during the NCSG online meetings ?
My question is addressed to the both nominates.
Warm regards
Olévié A. A. KOUAMI
