(U) This is an Action Message. Please see para 3. ¶2. (U) Per reftel, Poloff provided a briefing on the upcoming Sous-Sherpa and Sherpa meetings in advance of the April 2010 Nuclear Security Summit to Andy Rachmianto, Deputy Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU) Directorate for International Security and Disarmament. In response to that information and to our reminder of the opportunity for the GOI to provide comment on the Possible Summit Outcomes paper, Rachmianto said that Indonesia looks forward to participating in the full range of meetings in the run-up to the summit. ¶3. (SBU) Rachmianto noted that Indonesia has yet to name a Sherpa or Sous-Sherpa since it not yet received a formal invitation to the summit. The GOI understands that it is an invitee, but for internal reasons cannot fully engage until it has received a formal invitation. Mission requests that Department forward the GOI's formal invitation as soon as possible. OSIUS
