[APAC-Discuss] Now Open: Call for Membership in BCEC and BMSPC

Tue Jul 30 09:27:45 UTC 2019

Thank you for sharing these developments.

I would like to volunteer for the BCEC. I have served on the BCEC in the
past and have no interest to submit an EoI for the board seat. I would like
to contribute to this round.

Best

Fouad
