[bc-gnso] Policy calendar for 19-Oct-2011 BC member call/Announcement of CSG : Step In for completion of the CSG term of Sarah Deutsch

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Steve. Excellent, as always. See all on the call, in a few minutes. 

Separate Announcement: Thanks to Sarah Deutsch as CSG Rep, and welcome to Ron 
Andruff for willingness to 'step in'. 
I would like to use this opportunity to ask you to welcome and thank Ron 
Andruff, who has agreed to 'step-in' to complete Sarah's term as CSG. Ron has 
agreed to fill the 3.5 months remaining, with the understanding that he can 
help us as CSG on ground in Dakar, but intends for his filling in the term to 
expire, at the time of our election in February. 
So, thank Sarah for her role as CSG [our first CSG rep!], and wish her and 
Waudo well in their role in NomComm, and join me in thanking Ron for 'stepping 
in'. Filling incomplete terms means he will be debriefing with Sarah on ground 
in Dakar, and helping in our negotiations on V.Chair elections, appointment of 
the NomComm to the House, and helping to assess any needed Charter improvements 
or Changes int he CSG Charter. It is a short term but important period, and we 
will all benefit from Ron's great diplomatic skills.
