[ICANN Academy WG] PILOT - ICANN Leadership Training Programme in Buenos Aires

[Poncelet Ileleji]

Nigel,

Morning, Thanks for your email, definitely   the norm of  selection will
certainly and  definitely be based on "merit and need" within the context
of the training to be conducted, but its good you put all the parameters
that apply within the EU as this also applies in many places as the WG
moves ahead.

Much Appreciated

Poncelet
