Dear Mili,

Thank you very much for your message and for taking the time to explain

over the past few months. I sincerely hope your recovery continues smoothly
and that you’re regaining strength and wellness each day. Your openness is
appreciated, and please rest assured that your well-being comes first.

The EC acknowledges your message and fully understands the circumstances
that led to your absence. We are glad to hear that the procedure went well
and that you are now cleared to resume your activities. We look forward to
welcoming you back to the Committee and are confident in your continued
