Hey Tapani,

Let me first say that it was an absolute pleasure to meet you in Dublin and it was a fun experience to have been the competitor in the election. I hope that we can work together closely in the times to come.



I think you will do an excellent job in herding the cats of NCSG to continue the work that Rafik has played an excellent foundation for.



And because I don’t speak any Finnish I will leave you with the only phrase in Finnish that I do know "Ilmatyynyalukseni on täynnä ankeriaita” =)
