<font face="Verdana">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Avri and I discussed this, and I consulted with Markus as well. I see
two major points here:<br>
<br>
Most important: We do not have a clear member consensus (in my mind).<br>
<br>
2nd: Avri's point that the planning meeting will not address this issue.<br>
<br>
NOTE: if the IGC chooses to do so, we could request the floor and make
the statement at the planning meeting. However, I do not think it is
the most appropriate or effective way to deal with the issue.<br>
<br>
Jeremy and others on the list have carried out a valuable discussion
here, and this thoughtful work is NOT lost. It is important. However, I
do think that the most efficient presentation of ideas at this point is
through individual MAG members, who can analyze and present these ideas
at the MAG meeting on Wednesday. <br>
<br>
If Jeremy and those who are working on a statement should discuss the
best way of presenting this, whether as individuals to individual MAG
members, or as a call to the IGC Civil Society members of the MAG to
review the points discussed and present them at the MAG meeting.<br>

Hi,
I just wanted to point out that there not really a consultation in May, but rather a two day planning meeting which will be focused on planning for the program and the workshops. This is intended as a open working session like last years planning meeting.
On the third day, there will be a meeting of the MAG which I believe is open but which will not really be a consultation - its structure is up to the chair and MAG to decide at the time. I expect it to be more like a MAG meeting then a consultation.
While there may be some time for a few statements, I don't know yet, the best way to make sure the IGC's points get made is to have some of the MAG members who are also IGC members champion the proposal (or at least bring it up) within the MAG.
