[cooperation-wg] Seeking technical community candidates for IGF MAG

Hi Chris,

To clarify the deadline, is it Dec. 6 or Dec. 16? Because it says Dec. 16
in the email but I'm not sure if there is a difference between the process
in general vs. the process for the technical community.

See you soon,
-Michael
