Dear IDMA Members, Industry Colleagues and Friends,

Thankfully, the IDMA team members who attended the Kimberley Process Intersessional (KPI) in Antwerp, Belgium, are safely back home again. Reports on the KPI will be coming through during the following weeks.
Following up on the De Beers-Rapaport front, Martin Rapaport wrote a rebuttal to the letter sent by De Beers to its client base following Rap’s remarks about De Beers earlier this month during the JCK show. Once again, arrive at your own conclusions.
