Please mention as well that you were invited through the WARM network.

Please reply to this e-mail to RSVP to Debdatta Sengupta (d.sengupta@cgiar.org) by September 30 for the WARM meeting, so that we can prepare the list of people to receive a building pass and know how many people to expect.

We will send the minutes of the last WARM meeting held on July 24 along with an agenda soon.
