Re: [lac-discuss-en] [EURO-Discuss] [At-Large] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 At-Large Board Director (Seat #15) Selection Process
Dear Wolfgang,
thank you for this reminder of the history.
I'd like to hear more from our Community on whether they think we should
be pushing for a second director position now that we've had another
successful round of selection of a Board Director.
Fadi Chehadé mentioned today the Election in At-Large when speaking
about the multi-stakeholder model at the Hudson Institute

Kind regards,
Olivier
