Hi Amali and everybody,

I did think of the child but it seems to me that we still need to pass on a
well developed message, as written collaboratively by civil society. And it
has to be delivered in 5 minutes.
The youth caucus has been extraordinary during the prepcoms and seems to me
to offer many possible ³voices² to stand for us.
