[Ncu-exec] proposed statement for the IOC/IFRC DT resolution

[Robin Gross]

Thanks, Avri.  I support the statement and am disappointed the drafting team did not take noncommercial views into account.  I know several NCSG members answered the group's call for input, but advice that did not conform to the drafting team's pre-determined plans was not included in their report.  Disappointing.
