[Chapter-delegates] BoT Elections : Mohamed El Bashir - Questions & Anwsers

[Bert Wijnen (IETF)]

Sorry Peter, maybe it/I was not clear. My intent was to express that
I agree with Bob's statement that he made in the audio fragment.

Someone else had (in my view) not correctly translated that in his/her
own words. Having that audio fragment to actually hear exactly what
Bob said is great. And I think he said it well. And I agree with it.
