Hi Grace

Sorry to hear it may not work for you, but I think we’ll have to go with it anyway.  If you can find your way to some connectivity at 4pm CET great, if not ok….in that case, maybe you could also send some comments to the list on Monday or something, although it’s late in the election cycle.

When staff have got the Adobe details I’ll pass them along and we go from there.

Best,

Bill

Hi Bill
>Apologies for not getting back in good time. It is a very hectic time for me here with personal family engagements. Unfortunately I doubt that I will make it on saturday. Well, I could try but I am traveling to the rural areas as it is a long weekend starting tomorrow as Kenya celebrates 50 years. Unfortunately these plans were made earlier and there is nothing much I can do. Internet in the village is 50/50. And again I travel back to the City on Monday.

I have to notify staff before leaving when we want the Adobe, get confirmation and notify the members, so really it would be desirable to pick a time in the next eight hours if possible.

The results so far point to Saturday 4pm CET (3pm UCT) as the best option, the only person missing is Walid. Walid is there any way you could rearrange your schedule to make it? Given that there are four candidates for the AP slot and this will be the closest call, it really would be desirable to have you all on the call. Sorry, I know this is a bit presumptuous and unfair to ask...

The real problem is that it is just one day before the election finishes. That doesn’t give members much time to think, or screw around getting a new ballot and revoting if they hear something that changes their minds. It also doesn’t work as well as a general stimulant to voter turnout as an event held Saturday.
