Suresh is right that the IGC should release a statement on this topic.
(I don't agree that anything can possibly be apolitical but I suppose
what is meant here is: “broadly acceptable from a wide variety of
political perspectioves”, and I think that that can be done on this
topic.)

He mentioned in off-list email: "you can say I am happy to take the
lead in drafting this once I get back from traveling, which should be
by the middle of next week".

Let's support this initiative.

Greetings,
Norbert
