Dear Gabi, Councillors I fully second the review. Having had an experience of going through an election and experiencing the problem of outdated (if not unresponsive) African ccNSO members' admin & technical contacts, I certainly felt our election process is probably not as sustainable as it could be. Yet I thought this was probably only a problem for the African region ­ so I kept quiet ­ but now that AP & EU have had similar experiences, the review should proceed.
