[IGFmaglist] Nomination of Marilyn Cade as co moderator for NRI Main Session

[Lynn St.Amour]

Dear Wisdom,

the decision of co-moderators for the "NRI proposed main session”  lies with the NRIs and those that are participating in the organization of that session.  It is not a decision for the MAG as a whole.  The same applies to all Main session organizing teams.

Very best,

Lynn

Marilyn has long standing and deep familiarity with the NRIs over many years of collaborating with many of the NRIs, not only at the IGF but in having created the NRI network events at ICANN, where many of the NRIs are able to engage informally.
