I like that better too.

Very obviously, yes; this was our mistake last time when Anriette (although not involved in selecting herself) was formally still part of the group when selected for the HLP.  She has now stepped down and replaced herself with another APC representative, Chat Garcia Ramilo.

Also, I'm still catching up on email and so I see that my last message didn't accurately reflect the view that we perhaps shouldn't keep the three Brazilian liaisons as the 1net representatives also.  So, you can ignore that part of my last email, and consider all five places available.
