Dear list,
Though I wrote below "CS IGC Statement" and I introduced myself as one of the
co-coordinators of the CS IGC, I did not explicitly said "Here is the
IGC statement"
if I remember correctly. There might be the transcript archive to check, but I
don't know if that is available.  I did not say "I speak only for myself".
I am sure people in the room did think I was representing the IGC.

So, if I gave you the wrong impression that it was an IGC Statement with
full consensus of the list, it was not. I thought that was clear from
my presentation
and also texts I read, but I like to clarify that here again.

Thank you, and I will leave Geneve in two hours time.
