[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [Ncph-intersessional2017] Board Seat Selection Process

Wed Feb 22 04:27:18 EET 2017

Hi Matt,

thanks for the response, looking for other comments on this topic.
I think we can start with nomination whole we work on the process and
adjust the whole timeline.
how we shall proceed for nominations, we have 2 candidates for now. shall
we initiate a process to find other candidates? we don't have so much time
for a long nomination period.

I understand that we are having the deadline as a mean to press us but we
should stand and be clear about the aspects which are non-negotiable with
regard to the process.

Best,

Rafik
