Dear Kurt

I hope you have had a safe journey and recovered from the hard works done.

As I informed you before, there are several engagements for me in December
2018 and the first two week of January 2019.

I did also inform you that I do not want to be excluded from participating
at that f2f meeting

Consequently, the meeting should not be held in USA which imposed A general
BAN nationals* of our country *

I therefore suggest that we preferably meet in the third or fourth week of
January 2019  *and not first or second week of that month as I will be in
Busan Republic of Korea* or the first or second week of December 2018 as
second alternative.

However, the date duration and venue of the meeting should be decided as
soon as possible in order to allow everyone to make its agenda
appropriately

Pls kindly reply to this question as soon as possible

Regards

Kavouss
