<br>
I support the Chairs proposal. We have several representatives from<br>
the African Community, Mohamed, Mary and Adiel, this could be a great<br>
forum in which we can consolidate our position. We could also use this<br>
forum to receive feedback from our representatives on the issues we<br>
should focus on as a continent based on the deliberations they had in<br>
London as well as on various mailing lists.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
