[governance] Re: {S} International civil society letter to Congress to follow up from HRC statement

[parminder]

We should certainly seek IGC endorsement. This is too important a matter 
for IGC to do nothing about - I mean if we are not contemplating our own 
statement...

Since there isnt much time to give endorsement, co- coordinators should 
initiate the call for possible endorsement right away... Thanks, parmidner
