Re: [nc-budget] Report on DNSO Finances
Roger:
When Erica replied and talked about that no one requested for forgiveness in
past debts, I also replied asking
if it was possible to ask for such forgiveness and no one answered me.
Since also I waited for a reasonable time to someone answer me this question
and no one answered me, then I
sent my dissent about your proposal.
My apologizes if this was outside a timeframe. My suggestion for future
inquires is that it is stablished a deadline for send answers.
Thank you Roger for understand and for contact Louis and Diane about the actual
situation.
Best Regards
Vany
