[Npoc-discuss] Nomination of Joan Kerr for the VC position

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Dear Poncelet,

Thank you for your confidence. Unfortunately I can't really spare the
time, and also it would not be good to have both Chair and Vice Chair
from the same country let alone the same organization, so I'll have to
decline.

Sincerely,

Tapani
