Dear Pro,

dear all,

Many thanks for the update - I am glad to hear that this meeting is  
finally going to happen :-)) And special thanks to John and Pro for  
working on the details and putting together the Memorandum. I had  
chance to look at it and I would like to discuss some more details  
with all of you in London. If possible, I would also like to give a  
brief update on what has been discussed for CC Asia.

Looking forward to seeing you all!!

Safe travels,

Catharina
