<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Folks, I am about to post the final version of the rights statement. Time has run out, and we have to give a YES or NO response within 48 hours.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have had to try to steer a path between those who would feel uncomfortable with any statement that suggested exploring new and contentious rights, and those who would want to reject any statement that did not. Milton described the problem as insoluble – perhaps he is right. But with many of us feeling that this rights theme must be explored, I have had to try to come up with something acceptable to both parties.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I believe the only way this could be done was to substantially change the emphasis of the statement. I have attempted to do this, and in the process may well have upset some. My intention here is quite clear – to get a statement acceptable to this list. To me it's important that we advance the theme and have this emphasis at Cairo.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I've changed the order of a few things to improve acceptability, emphasis, and expression. More than I normally would want to at this stage. But I believe that was necessary to get a consensus statement.</span></font></p>
