Dear Sarbuland<br>
<br>
I wish to express that I made a<b> terrible mistake.</b><br>
Tracey Maugthon has conveyed that she does want to remain<br>
on the Strategy Council. <br>
In the midst ot a discussion concerning geopoltical balance<br>
at the UN-GAID strategy council, <br>
I got confused with one of her messages<br>
<br>
original :<br>
<br>
<i>Thanks for your diligence on this matter. Just to be clear - it
can't <br>
be said anymore that I am an African representative. Whilst my heart <br>
and soul remains in the African continent, I am currently based in <br>
Mongolia, running an INGO there that uses a variety of ICTs in <br>
development efforts. I am immersed in national and regional (central <br>
Asia) issues. <b> I do want to remain on the GAID Strategy Council.</b></i><br>
<br>
and then<br>
<i>Yes <b>I remain willing to serve on the GAID Strategy Council</b><br>
<br>
</i>This is <b>all my fault</b>, and I hope that Tracey would forgive
me....<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Francis <br>
