Hi

While Louis is of course right that it's member states who vote, Toure is expected to put forward a "compromise text" that may become the focal point of discussion, and  Al-Ghanim runs the discussion and plays the usual role of cajoling members to alter or withdraw proposals in the spirit of compromise so the process may move forward etc.  Moreover, both may bring it to the attention of the delegations. So I don't think the letter is misdirected at all.

Best,

Bill
