Not sure if the conversation continued on the famsco list (the
archives for Dec are empty), and if my input was required.  I haven't
seen any replies, and since I was one of the people on the ticket,
I'll just state my position here.

At the outset, let me say that I don't have a problem with hosting the
FUDCon in Cambodia.

My only problem is the "Friends" foundation isn't strong, especially
with the personal jibes at each meeting some have to face (btw this is
only from Gnokii, the Cambodians are fine).  A few of us have told him
several times to stop, but that hasn't had an effect on him.  This has
spilled into our apac ambassadors meetings as well, and that isn't
something I want to deal with Saturday mornings.  So I'm just going to
wish the team a good FUDCon, and leave it at that.

Thanks,

		Amit
