Dear debaters,

I have had a couple of people contact me about the mail I forwarded from Ian Lising yesterday concerning Worlds Council. There was some disquiet that something awful had happened to the Exec or that there was a falling out which may jeopardise in some way the effective running of Worlds.

In fact, different members of the Exec are unable to come for entirely personal reasons. This has happened before (I believe in 2000) and nothing untoward happened as a result. Council will run fine and the agenda is already in the public domain. There is nothing to panic about.

Please feel free to contact Can Okar at [log in to unmask] with any questions about this.

We're looking forward to seeing you in a few days,

Fatih Inal
Convenor, Koc Worlds 2010
