[Euro-board] Paris Board meeting and documents

[William Drake]

Hello from Chengdu,

Wolf, when we last discussed this I thought we'd said that there would be an
informal board gathering before the GA but the formal board meeting would
follow it, so we could take decisions reflecting the GA discussions and inputs.
 But now you have the board meeting in the morning again, at which time I'll be
en route to Paris, cannot come earlier as I arrive in Geneva from Beijing 8pm
the night prior. Have you checked with other people on their travel plans, are
we sure all will be there?

If we're going to do it in the morning, can we perhaps try to identify online
the precise points on which votes will be necessary so I can give my input
electronically?

Thanks,

Bill
