Too bad not to be able to participate in CIESM Expert Task Force on Mediterranean Elasmobranchs

I just received the following email... 

Too bad, i wanted to participate on the CIESM Expert Task Force on Mediterranean Elasmobranchs. Maybe next time...

At least 2 people from Greece are participating and that's great news

Dear Dr Taklis,
​
Many thanks for sending us your application to join our CIESM Expert Task Force on Mediterranean Elasmobranchs.
We appreciate your interest but we have received far too many applications to satisfy all demands.
Due to constraints dictating a much needed geographic balance, we could not unfortunately include your name at this time. 
Nonetheless we shall keep your cv in our files, should we envisage a further extension of the Task Force in the future.

With our best regards
