Dear Anriette,

It is with great pleasure that I confirm that the Chairman of the panel, President Ilves, has welcomed without any reservation the addition of a civil society panelist. For reasons of diversity, he accepted your nomination -- with all due respect to Professor Mueller.

Your nomination was shared during the panel's meeting today and received unanimous support.

You will be shortly added to our mailing list and we will make sure that you are fully briefed by the panel's secretariat on today's proceedings.

My personal thanks to you and the members of civil society for your patience as we secured the full support of our panelists.

We look forward to see you at our next meeting in February.
Sincerely,
Fadi
