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
