I am glad that I was wrong - with Avri's extra effort, now all the
statements
are on the website:
http://www.igcaucus.org/IGC-candidates-2007-AT.html
There are two additions, Linda's and Willie's and just a minor
modification of Wolfgang's.
Nomcom will be working hard to chatch up.
Many thanks, especially to Avri!
