I was worried and did not know that you would accept this, Stephanie.
I am very glad you did and I would like to thank you for that.
I look forward to the elections and I wish you (and anyone else who
will be applying) the best of luck and i look forward to working with
the new Chair once elected.
Best regards,
Arsene
