Dear Councillors,
Further to my email below, I have now also received a short bio from Vika Mpisane, who is one of the candidates for the Community Wide Working Group on Geographic Regions. Please, find this attached.
Patricio also pointed out to me that I miswrote one of the words under agenda point 3 ("Resolution on Amending Resolution on Approving Geographic Region Process from 5th October 2007") in the line starting "The resolution shall reflect...". The word "expect" shall be changed into "except", so that the correct line reads: "The resolution shall reflect the Council decision from Cairo to insert the line "except for extraordinary circumstances" under the section "Limitations" in the final recommendations http://www.ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccnso-final-report-regions-wg-24090...".
Sorry about the confusion caused.
Gabi
