[Sanctions-Board] Welcome!

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi all,

It is an honor and a pleasure to be in such a great company, be it for a hefty cause and under dire circumstances. I think it would be excellent if members from the advisory board can help and engage with the work on the policy and OSINT lists, but it might also be a good idea in terms of process that people who are active in those groups to recuse themselves from the final consensus decision by the oversight board.

I am saying this because I think it is very important to have participation in all groups, get things going, and ensure that the whole process benefits from participants knowledge and experience, but to also ensure due process.

Looking forward to work with you all on this.

Best,

Niels
