[seedig] Politics - off topic?

Sat Apr 17 12:37:13 CEST 2021

Hi Sonia,

Thanks, for feedback. I see people from our country among the SEE Editorial
team members, which means the diversity principle is respected.

>From another standpoint, if SEEDIG wishes to publish some materials from
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/ighub>iGovernance Hub
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/ighub>, me (or some other colleague) would
be ready for cooperation.

Best regards,

Narine
