[bestbits] Delivery of International civil society letter to Congress to follow up from HRC statement

[Anja Kovacs]

Also, in response to Parminder's questions: while we had agreed from the
beginning that the focus of this particular statement would be the US
Congress, I feel (and I just reread it to check) that it does foreground
the concerns of non-US citizens/resident (as it was meant to do in my
reading as well). Parminder, do you really feel that doesn't come out at
all? In that case, we do have some more work to do....
