[governance] Ad hoc Best Bits strategy meeting tomorrow lunchtime

[Baudouin SCHOMBE]

Decidedly, the Bali trip is a priesthood for me. Kenya Airways has
experienced problems:
-departing from Kinshasa, the flight was delayed for 3 hours;
-Nairobi, the connection to Bangkok has been postponed due to a failure of
pressurisation in the aircraft;
I just arrived in Bangkok with a delay for connection with Jakarta;
I leave tomorrow morning at 6.30 Bangkok and Jakarta to Bali.
