[lac-discuss-en] [At-Large] Public Board Meeting - the Update for Prague

[Sébastien Bachollet]

Dear all,
I am on your side on that matter.
I am still struggling with this issue on the Board.
I hope that part of the situation is a missing piece in the communication
but not sure 100%.
A public board meeting will take place during the week (if subject matter).
All the best
