<div>Thanks Rafik; I agree, it is definitely manageable and we'll be able to get our volunteers in order in time. I do think it would be helpful for prospective candidates if we can get a bit more information on how long the face-to-face meetings will be, and its estimated dates - the first F2F could be two weeks long, which is a big commitment. I appreciate the comment from staff yesterday on why the location cannot be determined yet, but rough dates seem possible to determine based upon the proposed work plan.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div>Best wishes, Ayden <br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On 6 July 2018 2:18 PM, Rafik Dammak <rafik.dammak@gmail.com> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ayden,<br></div><div><br></div><div>indeed, we got a short time window for this process and it is not optimal.
