Dear Robert,
Thank you, it is always a great pleasure to attend TBLI, especially as a speaker. I got some appreciative remarks about our "French" round table; I must confess I was pleasantly surprised about the number of attendees.

I would be glad to participate in TBLI next year, possibly as a speaker or as a moderator.

Robert,

The conference was excellent, and those of us from the Bank learned much from the other participants.  I was struck by the depth of interest in carbon trading at the conference.

Hello Robert

It
was a pleasure attending TBLI for my first time, and I know Michael found the conference the best of the three or four he's attended. The conference offered lots of opportunity for networking, and I especially appreciated the set up of the room with the booths, which provided a very effective environment for meeting people, browsing, and enjoying the wonderful food.

Dear Robert,


Thank you for your note.

I would like to thank you for the chance to participate at the recent TBLI meeting in Amsterdam.

I found the participants very focused on the issues and the expanded contact network will be most useful in future work.

The meeting also gave me an opportunity to learn more about the apparent dilemma between value and values. I think this is a valuable forum for my own edification and the promotion of the MTR Corporation
