</span>To clarify the issues around the minutes of the Board meeting of 11 May 2016:<br>
<br>
1. Haitham el Nakhal requested not to chair any part of the meeting because his audio quality was poor.<br>
<br>
2. Aminata Garba was disconnected from the meeting due to technical difficulties, before the nominations were discussed. She neither voted not recused herself, because she was not present at the time.<br>
<br>
In both cases, I believe that it was a mistake for the minutes to omit those facts.<br>
