Thanks Vervy! Gaurab ususally answers from the road but I can understand if he
is busy. Gaurab, just send me waht you have and I'll edit it a bit...

The meeting held in Manila was really just a caucus, where people levelled off
a lot of things and tried to have a common understanding about the complicated
process. It was helpful in that sense, and a face-to-face meeting always builds
up community camaraderie. Things have moved since then...and we were very
conscious that no formal decisions be made there--instead, it should be done
online through this list. So don't worry about the highlights folks, it will
come, but it is not too urgent in my view....

Yes!

Well said, Serena.

you country and worldwide worsened...
