<DIV>I echo Avri's thanks, Debbie, and agree that NCSG should discuss whether it can support and endorse the comments submitted by the Red Cross.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Speaking personally, I would be happy to. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In view of the fact that today is the last day, I guess the group's options are:</DIV>
<DIV>- Endorse in full (if sufficient members can agree) as an SG</DIV>
<DIV>- Endorse in part as an SG</DIV>
<DIV>- Endorsement (either in full or in part) by a group of members (starting with Avri, me and whoever else wants to sign on) identifying ourselves as NCSG members (or as non-commercial interests)</DIV>
<DIV>- No endorsement of any kind</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It may be that the third option would be the quickest and easiest.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
