<DIV>Dear all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">it may have
been too short after the Beijing meeting that I’ve sent out the letter attached
which draws attention to prepare for the GNSO meeting(s) Durban. So far I’ve
received little (but essential) response. Therefore I’d like to kindly remind
you to share your ideas re content and format of the meetings.</DIV>
