[APAC-Discuss] Individual Member Discussion

[Maureen Hilyard]

Thank you for your responses Amal. You have begun what I believe will be an
interesting discussion.

I encourage others to join in. There is no obligation to answer all the
questions - you may just choose to answer one or two points. Thats fine.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards
Maureen
