      <br>
      Wrt your "I don't think ....... the priorities that it reflects
      are appropriate at this point in time" argument which you have
      mentioned more than once (that even if process transparency is
      required, now is not the time for it, given substantive
      imperatives), I had replied in an earlier mail that process
      credibility issues can seriously undermine any substantive
      contributions... will resend that mail now. <br>
      <br>
      regards,<br>

      It's not for us to endorse it or otherwise, it's for all the
      participants.  But I don't think that your proposal is realistic,
      that the priorities that it reflects are appropriate at this point
      in time, or that it is consistent withi the acceptance of the
      interim steering committee that was endorsed by those present at
      the meeting in Bali.  But happy to hear what others think about
      it.<br>
