agreement;-) We have run out the clock without moving toward
closure. If the CSB (if we view this as a process matter) or C&T (if
instead it's substance) could rally around a consensus statement in the next
eight hours, that would be great, but I don't suspect it will
happen. An alternative would be a sign on statement from
accredited NGOs. I don't know if you have the bandwidth today to
coordinate this, I alas don't, but if we had a concise one paragraph text
along the lines of your first point below, orgs could send you their
endorsements for listing at the bottom of a doc. Of course, this would
only be effective if there were some critical mass. Should you decide to
go for it, feel free to list CPSR as an
endorser.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
