Dear Valeria,<br>
<br>
I never meant otherwise. 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 <br>

are just expressing support for the proposed letter,
since they may have not been able to vote within the
given time. And I think it is good to hear about more
support than may have been listed in the poll.<br>
<br>
I also think it is useful to give people a 24 hour
warning of closing a poll. People often vote on the last
warning :)</font><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>.parminder<span

<div>All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, but the idea is not to include individual
IGC members as co-signatories, because it's an IGC
statement so that would be redundant. We are only
interested in adding organisations as co-signatories.</div>
