In your listing, the number 57, which is actually indicated as
eligible to sign but not (yet) signed somehow seem to have
magically changed to '*opposed*'.... How did you make that shift?<br>
<br>
As I mentioned earlier, for the 1988 ITRs 75 members signed later
on, which makes the practise appear quite common.<br>
<br>
The real figure to focus on is the number of countries that have
said 'they wont sign' - I figure this number at present is between
12 to 20. I am happy to be corrected on this 'key figure'. <br>
