Just FYI: My recent silence does not imply I do not endorse the general
effort and the direction of the statement - quite to the contrary. I just
have to finish some other business before coming to Athens. I guess
several others have the same problem. ;-)

So, whoever has time to work on this: Please go ahead with the statement
and try to make it an agreed IGC statement by all means. Parminder's
proposal sounds good to me. No opposition over a defined period of time
implies consensus.

On the process: The "calling rough consensus" function of any coordinator
is only needed if there are dissenting voices, right? That's why it's
called "rough". If nobody objects, I find it hard to not move forward "as 
the caucus".

Best, Ralf
