Re: [ga] Nomination of Nii Quaynor

["Dr. Nii N. Quaynor" <quaynor@ghana.com>]

Hi Joe,

I will appreciate your support note independently.

However, please, recall that I gave the IDNO the time when it was not on the
agenda and got a resolution for you. This was largely the drive of the
NCDNHC. You ought to be grateful. IDNO gained something at Santiago due to
this.

On the issue of pressure from lawyers you referred to, you need to be more
specific on the decision ( very little decisions from the chair), the
change, the motion, the vote, your silence till now etc. Lets not forget
that the lawyers are part of the GA.

Regards,
Nii
