(SBU) Pol Chief contacted Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs
Minister-Counselor for International Organizations Nikulas Hannigan
on October 25 to follow up on delivery of reftel points. Hannigan
noted that the MFA looked favorably on David Walker's candidacy for
the UN Independent Audit Commission, but that a final decision on
Iceland's vote had not been made. He was unwilling to speculate on
when the MFA would make the final call.
