[Poncelet Ileleji]

Hello Colleagues,

Good day, I think its important for continuity especially as in my opinion
the current CS MAG members are doing a great work and have really put in a
lot of time to this  , I concur will Bill and strongly belief in the
overall continuity of all current CS MAG members

Regards

Poncelet
