[IRPCoalition] Fwd: IRPC Steering Committee and Co-Chair Elections 2020

[info at irpcharter.org]

Hi again everyone,

This is the final reminder that the IRPC nomination period for our 
steering committee and co-chair elections is currently open, and will 
close on 29 December.

Many thanks to Mohamed for self-nominating. Is anyone willing to second 
his nomination?

Best,

-Michael
