Hi Rikke and Meryam,
I can see that this would be a lot of work, and
appreciate Meryam's reasons for declining.
Rikke does your message mean that you have already
been proposed? Or just that we can now propose your name?
I assume there is consensus within the HR Caucus to
propose Rikke. If anyone does not agree, could you please let us know?
Otherwise, I would like to make sure that Rikke is or gets proposed as soon as
possible.
Thanks, saludos, Ginger

[hr-wsis] Re: Nominations to IGF Advisory Committee - Info
Hi
Ginger and all,
As far as I'm concerned, I am not willing to be
nominamed to the MAG.
Reasons are:
- workload (I've my own job and
(post-)WSIS involvement is only a
volunteering activity)
-
funding (although no information is provided on this issue, I
assume
there wont be any funding to attend meetings)
- I, personnally, have many
reluctance to this MAG process (the MAG
itself as defined - in a
pretty fuzzy way - by the IGF, and the
nomination process as a
consequence of this definition). If I have
time, I should try to
write down these thoughts and share them with
others.
Thank
you very much for asking, anyway. I appreciate.
Best,
Meryem
