Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for your explanation of Kem Kem and the NomCom approving
the NWA designation because of all the confusion and the situation of all
the meteorites coming out of the region.

Thank you for mentioning that you and NomCom decided on "A Generic Term"
Northwest Africa, that could be applied as a "Tracking" label to all stones.

I really appreciate your explanation.

All the best!

Brian
