MAG meeting summary report -Re: [governance] open

[Hakikur Rahman]

(tool, catalyst, end product, output) to serve the human society 
leading to what, development - in my opinion (either improved 
governance, or capacity development, or knowledge development, or 
whichever you may interpret), in whatever form it may take or be shaped.

Thanking you,
Hakik
