Now that I am back in Paris, I would not like to let time pass without thanking you for all the assistance received through the 6e session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

We were welcomed in a fantastic manner by the BICC. The professionalism from your team and in particular from Sri Astini and Mawang has made our meeting a real success in to what logistics and planning is concerned. Let me thank you again for putting at my disposition competent people, smiling at all moments even at the most stressful situations that we could eventually encounter.

 I will keep the best of souvenirs from the personnel in Bali as well as from the Hotel Westin where I hope to return again in another meeting in the near future and I hope, on vacation.

Again, please accept my sincere appreciation and make them extensive to all the team.

Regards,

David Martel
