Hello all,
I think to expect Izumi or Norbert to take on something extra when they
already obviously have a full plate in relation to ICANN might be a
little difficult at this stage. Unfortunately, I cannot attend this
meeting. Since there's funding, and if I recall correctly, it's the
organisations that's representing Asia on the CS Bureau, so may I
suggest that APC (or even FMA) or APC WNSP nominate someone from Asia.
Considering that a number of our colleagues are already quite entrenched
with the WSIS process, sitting on the CSB for those who have already
participated in these processes won't be such a challenging task.
This is just a suggestion. Unless of course, Asia would like to nominate
someone fresh.
Warm regards,
Angela
