[Fwd: [CS Bureau] FINAL REMINDER - CSB Questionnaire]

Fri Jul 16 00:58:05 BST 2004

Francis:

thanks for your comments - what i'm keen to get from people is a list 
of language abilities, and check to make sure all contact information 
is correct and up to-date. That way,  we can be sure that - people 
like you who should be getting the bureau messages - are in fact 
getting them.

In terms of another questions - is the one of everyone's language 
abilities. For the people I know - it's easy to figure out, but for 
the others i'm not too sure. As you know Interpretation and 
translation has been an ongoing issue - which can be solved, if we 
just plan sufficiently ahead.

regards

Robert
