[Ncsg-discuss] Progress update on Board seat 14

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

I would like to share the latest update regarding the Board seat 14.

As follow-up of process described by Farzaneh, I led the discussion with
CSG leadership. After going back and forth, we agreed at NCSG PC to
reappoint the incumbent Chris Buckridge for a second term acknowledging the
differences between the 2 groups on the matter. We will discuss with him
later about NCSG expectations. We will also review the procedure and
discuss with CSG based the learnings and shortcomings.

 I want to thank all candidates for applying and going through interview
process with us and CSG.

Best,

Rafik
