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 --- Milton L Mueller <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > That's great, Prof. Tan.
