[At-Large] ALAC Review Workshop at Cairo?

[Izumi AIZU]

Dear Darlene and all,

trying to be engaged in productive and constructive way from
different regions, cultures and preofessional backgrounds is
always a challenge and one has to, sometimes, stand up and
do the dirty work.

And I am also very greatful for the support you gave, Darlene.
