Should read “some civil society groups”. Probably necessary

I understand that it is a decision of 4 CS organisations/ networks -
IGC, BB, IRP and APC - which was sent in a written form to the
Brazilians and I am only reiterating that decision... I understand
that decision stand unless a counter decision is taken..<br>
<br>
However, if you and or others want that decision to be reversed,
please indicate so, and we can gather opinions. Otherwise please do
not confuse people about what is an existing decision of key civil
society groups...<br>

<br>
I will add as a personal opinion that: Brazil/ CGI.Br
has taken the political role of organising this
important meeting; it cannot now shirk from the
corresponding political responsibilities, by passing
them on to others who have not been given the needed
legitimacy. The world sees and approves Brazil as the
host and organiser of this meeting, and it will be best
if they are able to continue to do so. Any change of
perception would have important bearing on the
legitimacy and success of the meeting. <br>
<br>
I would also like to request LOG to give civil society
Liaisons - the names being already communicated to them
- equal status and involvement in your meetings and
decisions as, apparently, is being given to some other
non governmental groups. <br>
<br>
In this regard I also request the Liaisons to be in
contact with the LOG, and also with us. <br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards<br>
