Thanks, David, for posting this reminder. :-)<br>
<br>
I would add that it is very difficult if not impossible to have such<br>
a civil discourse in a climate of personal attacks. These really need<br>
to be stopped first.<br>
<br>
There have been quite a few postings recently that can not be<br>
reasonably understood as legitimately questioning viewpoints and<br>
practices, but which are clearly personal attacks.<br>
<br>
According to the Charter of this Caucus [1], personal attacks are not<br>
acceptable, and it is a responsibility of the coordinators to take<br>
action in reaction to such attacks being made, according to be a<br>
specified procedure. In view of also having other responsibilities,<br>
needing to coordinate between the coordinators who are in opposite time<br>
zones, feeling a need to exercise the utmost fairness possible, and the<br>
need to handle things in an "appeal-proof" matter, quick action in this<br>
regard is not always immediately possible.<br>
[1] <a href="http://igcaucus.org/charter" target="_blank">http://igcaucus.org/charter</a><br>
<br>
But I can assure you and everyone that Sala and I are aware of our<br>
responsibility in this regard. It now looks likely that we will now<br>
unfortunately have to take, at least in some instances, the matter<br>
beyond the point of "formal private warnings". This shouldn't be done<br>
without coordination, or in a hurry though. So a bit of patience may<br>
be required in regard to the need for execution of the steps foreseen<br>
in the Charter for this kind of situation.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
Norbert<br>
