[CS Bureau] Terrible mistake / UN-GAID strategy council nomination

[Dr. Francis MUGUET]

Dear Sarbuland

I wish to express that I made a* terrible mistake.*
Tracey Maugthon has conveyed that she does want to remain
on the Strategy Council.
In the midst ot a discussion concerning geopoltical balance
at the UN-GAID strategy council,
I got confused with one of her messages

original :

/Thanks for your diligence on this matter. Just to be clear - it can't 
be said anymore that I am an African representative. Whilst my heart 
and soul remains in the African continent, I am currently based in 
Mongolia, running an INGO there that uses a variety of ICTs in 
development efforts. I am immersed in national and regional (central 
Asia) issues. * I do want to remain on the GAID Strategy Council.*/

and then
/Yes *I remain willing to serve on the GAID Strategy Council*

/This is *all my fault*, and I hope that Tracey would forgive me....

Best regards

Francis
