Dear Bill,
Yes, indeed, we should make concrete suggestions for inclusions into the=20
Civil Society Statement. It is a relief that we have some breathing space,=
=20
since at this point, everything is so completely busy. I will do my best=20
to compare both documents and give feedback in consultation with Gargi and=
=20
Chun and others by the weekend, if that's okay.
Perhaps Gargi, Chun or others could make comments sooner? That would be=20
great if its possible.
Thanks,
susanna
