The results are as follows:

 

Rotation for 2015:

Marilyn Cade, Subi Chaturvedi and Edmon Chung.

 

Rotation for2016:

Virat Bhatia, Avri  Doria and Raùl Echeberría.

Cheryl Miller, Jimson Olufuye, Tarek Kamel.

 

7.          IGFSA@IGF: Annual General Meeting

The Second IGFSA General Assembly will be held on Wednesday 11 November during the mid-day lunch session.  The Secretariat will be making arrangements for refreshments during the meeting and will be preparing a mission report for the activities the IGFSA was involved in during its first year of operation.

 

8.         IGFSA Booth

The secretariat has sent out a schedule for Executive Committee Members to determine when they will be available to positions themselves at the IGFSA Booth in the IGF Village.   The secretariat will be present the majority of the time at the booth and it was determined that Executive Committee presence will further enhance IGFSA membership acquisition.  The Booth will host a raffle for tech devices to engage with IGF participants and increase visibility.
