Thanks for the comments, Rashid. Is the phrase "multicultural by design" of your own formulation or was it put forth at the conference? That is a wonderfully descriptive phrase that distinguishes the issue.
I would have enjoyed that discussion as well!
Is there any more you can tell us about what was said? You've mentioned that there was a discussion but you left us hanging on the specifics.
(By the way, you were looking fly as usual!)
