[Hong Phuc Dang]

Hi all,

thank you very much for the notes. I answered some questions about
Singapore here https://titanpad.com/lgm2017, currently working on a
proposal.

Once again Congratulations to Ten Years of LGM!!! Big thanks to
organisers. It was another amazing event. See you in London.

Cheers,

Hongphuc
