<div dir="ltr">Also, in response to Parminder's questions: while we had agreed from the beginning that the focus of this particular statement would be the US Congress, I feel (and I just reread it to check) that it does foreground the concerns of non-US citizens/resident (as it was meant to do in my reading as well). Parminder, do you really feel that doesn't come out at all? In that case, we do have some more work to do....<br>

<br>
Greetings everyone<br>
<br>
Content is coming along well.<br>
<br>
Jeremy, in response to your question, what about giving people until<br>
21h00 GMT/UTC today, Thursday. Then you can close the text, finalise it,<br>
and release for sign-ons and give people until 16h00 GMT/UTC Friday for<br>
sign ons and then we can send it off before the end of the business day<br>
in Washington DC (will be 12h00 in DC).<br>
<br>
That will accommodate Parminder's request, but still enable us to get<br>
enough sign ons and get the letter to Washington DC on Friday. Only<br>
region that will have a shortish period for sign ons will be the Americas.<br>
<br>
Will this work?<br>
<br>
Anriette<br>
