I will have limited attendance at the next 2 Sessions for April 29-30. These will focus on discussion of WSC of the Future and an additional topic decided by the delegates. I lodged a complaint with the World Board that this WSC was voted to be only essential business, and that these discussions, while important, were not what we agreed to.
