[IRPCoalition] IMPORTANT: IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE ELECTIONS PROCESS

Mon Feb 13 11:59:10 EET 2017

Dear all

Thank you Karmen for nominating me to the post of incoming co-Chair and
thanks to everyone else for the warm support. After some thought I am
happy to accept the nomination. The IRPC has had a talented, and
committed SC that has been consistently working behind the scenes to
move the work forward so I would be honoured, if successful in the
election, to continue working with them in that capacity.

Warm regards

MF
