Thanks Christoph for your reminder. We are all looking forward to hear
from you, Ruth and Robyn.

Ruth and Robyn, could you please clarify this to us asap.

Jiri, I don't know the details, but what's wrong with that?

+1.

We also have got a plan to do some FADs in APAC this year (as we decided
not to have FUDCon because of no volunteer host). I know budgets for FADs
and FUDCons are issued from the different source from ones for Ambassador
activities. However, we need budget information asap.

Kind regards,
Tuan
