Thanks Al for the update-
I coordinated with some Korean members of this caucus and they have prepared
this nomination. Because time was short, I have sent it first on behalf of
Jinbonet, PeaceNet and my own organization, noting that this Caucus may
enforse it.
Could we say, if there is no opposition to Chun Eunghwi's nomination by this
Caucus within 72 hrs, we consider it endorsed? Is that OK?
