[governance] May consultation: IGC input

Mon Apr 30 12:13:14 EDT 2012

Dear All,

On the issue of Remote Participation, please note that the IGC had widely
consulted and collaborated on a Statement which is available via the IGC
website.
See: http://www.igcaucus.org/digressit/archives/47

Please feel free to draw from this statement as consensus was reached on
the matter etc as notably there are some aspects of our statement that is
not included in the CSTD Report which should be raised in the discussions.

Kind Regards,

Sala
