Hi Bodhisattewa, Please take into consideration that Rahul did more than speaking for a few minutes during the chairs' meeting in Cape Town. - He prepared a discussion note for this meeting about a sensitive topic. - Rahul and me had several discussions (per skype and in person) in the weeks preceding the actual meeting. - Rahul presented his ideas during the meeting and was actively engaged in the discussion. - And in the end he got some home work as well: enhancing his note with the outcomes of the discussion. The contribution of Rahul was much appreciated. Regards, Frans
