[Rigf_secretariat] [Rigf_program] Consensus Call for The Chair of PC/MSG

[Ang Peng Hwa (Prof)]

Thank you everyone for appointing me as chair.


I think I speak for everyone on this list that we really believe in the
need for an AP meeting to discuss Internet governance issues.

Special thanks to Izumi Aizu for addressing the governance issue through
this arrangement.

And also to Paul for a suggestion that was quickly adopted. Can't say the
MSG name is culturally out of place.

For the Vice-Chair, may I propose Hong Xue. Many of us in the group know
her. At this time, the need is for programming the meeting and Hong had
organized an Internet governance training session at her university last
year. Plus we have worked together. She also has a reasonably high profile
in the Internet governance arena, serving in ICANN.

For your consideration.

Regards,
Peng Hwa
