Replacement Mary Wong - Triage Committee & GNSO Liaison Group
by Gabriella Schittek July 10, 2013

July 10, 2013

Dear Councillors, Unfortunately, no one has so far volunteered to replace Mary Wong on the Triage Committee, so I'm repeating my call for volunteers for this Committee. Also, Mary was a member of the GNSO Liaison Group, which was in charge of setting the agendas of the joint meetings with the GNSO Council during ICANN meetings. We also need a replacement for her on this group. If you would be interested to volunteer for any of these two positions, please, let me know as soon as possible, preferably by the end of this week. Many thanks, Gabi
