[PC-NCSG] [urgent] NCPH candidate nomination

[Marilia Maciel]

Thanks for clarifying your substantive issues, Amr.

Trying to be pragmatic here, I believe that Rafik asked us about the
nomination. Although different people have raised reasons why they would
consider not voting for the candidate, I still did not see someone saying
that they would be against the nomination. Or did I get it wrong?

A request for an extension on making this decision beyond tomorrow (the
initially agreed deadline) only forces the hand of the CPH to put forward a
name. Is that our strategy?

Thanks
M
