[APAC-Discuss] [ALAC-Announce] Call for RALO Volunteers for ccNSO Study Group on Use of Names for Countries and Territories

[Fouad Bajwa]

Hi,

After going through the Study Group's statement of purpose, I believe
that there should be significant participation in this call for
participation and thus would like to suggest my name in the list of
volunteers from APRALO only if there are no objections and/or we
receive no more volunteer names.

I believe and suggest that within the best interest for contributions
and due to the importance of geographically diverse nature of the
issue, we should include more than one volunteers from each RALO if
they deem necessary or do forward more names.

Best

Fouad Bajwa
