Hi,

I have so far heard 2 rather favorable opinions regarding my
work proposal related to IDN: Carlos (Afonso), contingent on
availability of funds, and Milton, hoping for wider support &
sponsorship from stakeholders. Is the executive committee
planning to consider this request?

In fact I started probing possible partners in San Juan, and had
a quick talk with Prof. Tan then about the idea. If it's
possible to have the ex-co advise, I'd like to start serious
discussions with MINC while they seem to be open to the idea,
and explore other collaboration venues as well.

Thanks,

Mawaki
