[governance] Invitation: May 13th: Public Participation Meeting

[Bertrand de La Chapelle]

HI Karen,

Will be happy to join. Good initiative.

Will be an opportunity to clarify some aspects of the "EC proposal" to avoid
misunderstandings, in particular, the personal nature of the video message
made by Commissioner Reding.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Bertrand
