Re: [council] Kenya Agenda questions: Saturday Council dinner and Sunday breakfast
Thanks Bill. I'm just trying to put an agenda together ;) The session in Seoul was supposed to be an airing of grievances, but my recollection is that it ended up being something more generic (and open). We can have that debate if we want. But my deal here is just trying to finalize whether we need to plan for a room and catering for Sunday morning or not.
