Dear Thomas,

Welcome to the stewardship role of coordinator of the MP Secretariat.
You are absolutely right this year is very crucial for MP and a review
of the strategy is essential after the successful outcome of Rio+20
as per mountain agenda is concerned.

You can count on my support.

Wish you best of luck.
