Dear Raul and all,

I am sorry I did not reply sooner. I am in Ecuador, in a meeting where the 
Internet is barely functional, so only today I am managing to reply to some 
of the most urgente messages.

Yes, I do accept the nomination, fully taking into account Adam's remarks.

I hope it is not too late, and that this email can reall be delivered.

fraternal regards
