Hi Gopi,

Fortunately there are other working groups who have nominated people 
from Bangladesh, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Singapore, so Asia 
will likely have representation in the end. In the future, we'll be 
notified of these processes with days or weeks of response time rather 
than hours.

thanks,
ac
