Vs: [Socbin] Annual general meeting - discussion

[Maido Remm]

Hello,

A correction is needed here.
I am representing Estonia (from 2006) and therefore I cannot replace
Gudmundur (he is from Iceland).
I support the idea selecting more board members from Baltic states. Ceslovas
is a good candidate for representative of Lithuania and we should look for
someone from Latvia as well.

With best regards,
