Dear Holly, Some Questions so we can act on your requests: 1) Finances: Next, our request for funding for participating in the regional IGM is being reviewed. I am checking as to what that means, but again, some help please. [ I think you would like to know what action is required on your part? ] 2) Nominations are still open for an ALAC rep (And Matt - could you post the adjunct document Olivier spoke - thanks). Please kindly clarify, are you referring to the ATRT 2 doc? If so, where would you like to post it? Thank you!
