Stéphane,

I am certainly keen on the Council dinner, especially as I missed the opportunity in Seoul.

Regarding, breakfast I am happy to get up if this is something considered helpful (breakfast - not me getting up).

Kind regards

David

Thanks Caroline and Wolf for your quick responses.

To be honest, I think the Sat dinner is a given. We all enjoyed the Seoul one and I never heard anyone say we shouldn't do another one. Plus it was a pay-your-own-way event so really, there shouldn't be much problem with this.

Glen has already found a possible venue and I am going to make an executive decision ;) to put it on the agenda. If anyone objects within the next couple of days, we can always look at this again.

The breakfast is the one I am much less sure of. As a reminder, this was kind of intended to be an informal discussion between ourselves to help anyone get anything they wanted off their chests. In Seoul, this was organised in one of the meeting rooms. Does the Council feel we should do this again for Kenya?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Stéphane,

Being a 'newbie' to the group, I would welcome any opportunity for an informal get-together with colleagues before the meetings proper.

Kind regards,

Caroline.

I support the dinner which gives more opportunity for unofficisl talks.

Best regards

Dear Councillors,

I am currently working with Glen on our agenda for the Kenya meeting.

As you may recall, in Seoul we had an unofficial dinner on the meeting's first Saturday and there we also a Council breakfast on the following Sunday morning.

For Kenya, the question of these events remains undecided and we are therefore not sure whether we should include them in the agenda or not. Our understanding is that there is broad support within the Council for the Saturday dinner, less certain support for the Sunday breakfast.

What do people think? Should we plan for both the Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast, one and not the other, none of the above?

Stéphane
