Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] EXTENSION: Election/Selection of Chair and Vice Chair for 2015

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I’m nominating Anne Aikman-Scalese to serve as the SCI Chair for 2015. She’s 
certainly been one of the more active and dedicated primary representatives to 
the committee.

Thanks.

Amr
