You of course would have properly considered your endorsement. However, Jeremy responded to your endorsement email by saying that we are not taking individual co-signatories for the letter, and I wrote that I dont think you and others who came in with support after the poll was closed really want their names to be 'separately mentioned' as co-signatories (pl see Jeremy's eamil below) and were only expressing support as members of IGC. And this is because they may not have got time to vote within the allowed time period. I hope the misunderstanding is cleared now. parminder<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br><blockquote cite="mid:CCD9A5BD-F631-458B-8614-3F6027052228@apc.org" type="cite"><div><br></div><div><div>On 13/05/2011, at 8:21, parminder wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#333333"><font face="sans-serif">I understand that Valeria and others are just expressing support for the proposed letter, since they may have not been able to vote within the given time.
