"Yes, we are all the equivalent of Assistant Ambassador-level staff, however it is my understanding that Ambassador Watson has a personal knowledge of your world and its people and wished to be personally involved. Due to his involvement the Council's primary members do wish to have some time to get to know you as well. I would not be concerned Emissary. Your application is being addressed in a positive manner and we look forward to your thoughts and concerns on upcoming issues." _______________________________________________ Spacedock mailing list [email protected] http://mail.starbase1.org/mailman/listinfo/spacedock_starbase1.org
