The Deadline is on the 31 August, 2013.

> I agree with Norbert and McTim  - I'm against the idea of submitting a "corporate" response - although being able to see a profile/overview within the list of the range of  IGC members' replies might be helpful.

Your view is noted. An attempt still has to be made by us to solicit a corporate response, how that pans out is a corporate responsibility. We merely are there to assist in facilitating a joint response.

> I'm wondering how much our attempts to see ourselves as a "corporate entity" rather than simply as a useful discussion space is  contributing to our current troubles?

Our boundaries of activities exude beyond the confines of a discussion space.
