Dear colleagues, During the last few days I have been sending out requests for help with the mini CV part of our panel formation proposal. Please send me yours, if you have not already done so. Incidentally, if I have not been in contact with you directly, it means I do not have a copy of your CV (even an old one) and so it is especially important that you get one to me. This email is designed to make this process painless. I’ve included three examples below, which have been OK’d by the people concerned. Notes Designation means your current job. Role could be one or several of: · National and regional policy makers · Technical community (general and DNS) · Security and law enforcement · Academia (technical and linguistic) · Community-based organizations · Local language computing using Unicode and specifically IDNs Regards, Chris.
