Vs: [Socbin] Annual general meeting - discussion

[Arne Elofsson]

I agree that we ideally should have someone from Iceland on the board,
but I have no ideas who that should be and I think it is better to
have excellent members (such as Maido) than to include someone who
does not participate fully.

Therefore, I still suggest that we should vote to include both Maido
and Ceslovas


Yours

Arne
