Dear all,
We apologise for any technical difficulty faced yesterday. We have
discussed with the relevant people to avoid such today. Please bear with
us. We are time-constrained and today we would only allow those
contributing 1 mins at the mic. We would try as much as possible to
accommodate as many as possible to speak but please bear with us.
Thanks
Co. Chair PDWG
