[IRPCoalition] 2 Days! Deadline extended until 9 February: IRPC STEERING COMMITTEE AND CO-CHAIR ELECTIONS 2023: Call for nominations

[Santosh Sigdel]

Dear IRPC Members,
Greetings !

I, Santosh Sigdel, would like to self-nominate myself for the position of
Co-chair. I am currently serving as an IRPC Steering Committee Member. I am
a lawyer and founding chairperson of Digital Rights Nepal. I am also
serving as a member of the Asia Pacific Internet Governance Forum (APRIGF)
Multistakeholder Group.

I am sure that the experience I gained at the IRPC in the last two years
and my engagement in the IG processes will certainly be useful to
contribute in this new position.

With best regards,

Santosh Sigdel
Chairperson
Digital Rights Nepal
