Thanks John. I am unsure whether you expect an answer by email or would prefer that we "stockpile" this question for the "Q&A with candidate" session that we have planned in Dakar?<br>
<br>
I would think that the second option is better, as it means everyone can join the discussion as and when they wish.<br>
<br>
Also, as I am leaving for Dakar tomorrow and will probably be out of email range for a few days, if anyone else has any questions that would mean I could address them all at the same time, which might work better.<br>
<br>
Would you be OK with this?<br>
<br>
Stéphane<br>
