Re: [council] Kenya Agenda questions: Saturday Council dinner and Sunday breakfast
OK, my thanks to all who have commented so far. It looks like we have clear support for two sessions being put aside in the agenda, one on Sat evening for dinner, one on Sun morning for breakfast. Glen and I will move forward with this. Please note that I am not here going into the specifics of what these sessions are for. That is another debate, but one I think we should have, especially with reference to the Sunday "gripe" session...
