[At-Large] "We can't be bothered to vote; so just send us the travel vouchers for Cairo"

[Fatimata Seye Sylla]

Hello All,

I am in Senegal these days, with electricity shortage every now and then,
meaning no continuous internet access.  It is very difficult for me to keep
up with the many many mails I am receiving.  Sometimes it is not even
possible to finish reading and replying to 2 mails and the electricity is
gone.  The situation is right now very bad here.  Today (a Sunday),  I have
electricity and I am able to read your mails.

I am very sorry because I wanted to vote Yes but just couldn't do it.  When
it comes to urgent issues like this and we can't participate via email, is
it possible to call us to enquire?  If this is too demanding, don't bother.

Best,
Fatimata
