Carlos ALBERTO Afonso received overwhelming support from this list, as I recall. He is more than a de facto, he is a legitimate choice. As I recall also, Nnenna politely informed us that she was private sector but expressed a willingness to speak for CS if we wanted her to and gave her a prepared statement. To my mind, that means we should choose someone else. But, I also thought that the UN had made the second choice for us.
