Dear Roland,

At least I have mentioned it several times why it doesnt meet my 
approval (and that of most developing country actors) . Let me say it 
again - I and my country are not represented in CoE/ OECD initiatives. 
Do you think this is not a good enough reason? Does democracy and global 
democracy count for anything?

On the other hand, the question I have asked so many times, that why 
should not initiatives similar to those that you mention, but where all 
countries are represented, 'get much approval from folks around here' 
remains unanswered. Can you try an answer to it.

This is exactly what is sought in IT for Change's submission for 
consultations on enhanced cooperation.

Thanks

Parminder
