Dear Committee and European ALSes: I've just spoken to Annette and her cold has become a lung infection - as anyone else who has had one of these knows, the only thing to do is go to bed and stay there, and she's promised to do so. She did ask me to notify the newly-accredited ALSes on her behalf which I shall shortly do. Attn: Europe: She also asked me to ask you to please begin to discuss Lisbon, the MoU, etc in her absence; she'll catch up but wants to rest not worrying about whether or not things are moving forward. This message is therefore a Germano-Anglo condominium to induce work output through the use of moral suasion. I hope you forgive us both ;) -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom UK Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
