Following up on WJC's phone call with President Figueres last week, President Figueres would like to meet with us to discuss possible collaboration. He seems to be available on Tuesday, July 31, in New York. Would that work for you (if so, would you prefer morning or afternoon?) and are there any of our islands colleagues that I've inadvertently left off this email? Thanks, Ami

Thanks Mr. President. Would you have any availability during the last week of July? Next week we'll be in Africa, but will be back in NY on July 22 night. Looking forward to seeing you. Sincerely, Ami

Dear Ami,

Hope you are doing well, and enjoying the growing family a bit more over the Summer than you normally get the opportunity to do so .....  :)

As you know President Clinton called me last week to recognize the Carbon War Room for our work on Island Nations, specifically with Aruba. It was indeed very kind of him. We would like to follow up on his call by getting together with the persons at the Foundation who are working on islands, as it would seem there must be areas in which we can collaborate and work together. Previously, Peter Boyd our COO and myself had met with Ed and his team over at CGI, with some of your team on the phone. I had also contacted Ira via e-mail.

I will be in NY next Wednesday afternoon and available to meet as of 16:30, or available again on Thursday as of 14:00. Please let me know what would work.

All the best, and kind regards,
Jm
