Dear Lee and all

Thanks for the heads-up. See you all in Paris!

Safe travels all from the IRPC Mailing list, looking forward to seeing
you all in the three sessions organized by the coalition, and in the DC
Main session, as well as other Main Sessions where human rights are the
focus.


Best wishes

MF
