I was so impressed with your agenda and I think you guys did a wonderful job. I still do have some reservations with some of the ideas that you proposed.

  1. I don’t think we need to use the constitution created by GLC but instead we should write a new constitution that reflects the ideas of the current membership.

  1. We should only use the information from GLC for lessons learned purposes only. That is to learn from their mistakes and try to improve on those mistakes.  I am pretty confident that we can come up with a clear and concise vision for this great mission we are embarking on.

Regards,

Lamin Fofana
