Does this not constitute an in principle agreement to participate by the 
concerned CS actors, if NMI guys agrees to CSCG doing CS nominations, or 
something close to that... Further, Is Fadi wrong in taking that 
impression and making it public... I think you need to make the facts 
such more clear and transparent about what is happening within the CSCG, 
what decisions and actions it takes and so on... parminder
