Short & Sweet on the Need for a "Special Envoy"

TO: Michael Igantieff

SUBJ: 27 Jan 10 Suggestion for Canadian Special Envoy "to lead Canadian efforts to work on governance, on a reconciliation process and a post-2011 future in Afghanistan."

1) Not needed - lots of diplomats and civil servants on the case now.

2) Alternative: following up on a Canadian rep to work with the U.S.'s Special envoy?
