Dear Joana
This is exactly what I had in mind when I proposed this letter. I am
sorry I could not contribute to the drafting. We will circulate it to
APC members for support. I am at the African IGF and traveling tonight
so am copying our communications manager, Mallory Knodel, to ask her to
do this as Valeria Betancourt our policy manager is also in transit.
Could you please send her the final copy if there are changes?
Thanks.. good letter.
