[seedig] Role of former SEEDIG Hosts?

[Michael J. Oghia]

Hi Anja, all:

I like this idea, especially since it could help incentivize more people /
organizations / countries to get involved and help them stay involved over
time. It would also give additional support to the EC. I'd like to hear
what others think as well. I'm only concerned that since the SEEDIG region
is relatively small, so eventually someone from each country could be
involved, which could create a lot of unwanted bureaucracy and politics, or
otherwise hinder the process.

Perhaps if such individuals were solely in an advisory position but the EC
keeps all decision-making abilities, it would best protect the smooth
operation of the SEEDIG process.

Best,
-Mihajlo
