[NCSG-PC] one on one with Goran

[Tatiana Tropina]

Hi Stephanie and all,
I very much agree with raising the point about blog vs. public comments
(thanks Farzaneh!). If not during this call, then next time or in Montreal
somehow. This has been raised repeatedly and not only by us but seems to
get rather little or no explanation.
Cheers,
Tanya
