This is a decent summary, but there are a couple corrections:
ALLFED increased paid team members, but much less than doubled (we have capacity to expand more quickly with additional funding).
We do have 17 advisory board members, but they represent 4 countries, not 9 (the 9 countries were represented by the 17 team members at the retreat).
