Re: [gnso-travel-dt] Release of DNSO restricted funds

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Olga,

Sorry for getting in late on this. I think the request has already been
forwarded to the Council list but in case it hasn¹t, I think it¹s a great
idea for you to do so.

Thanks,

Stéphane
