[PC-NCSG] Olympic mark

[Alain Berranger]

Avri,

NPOC is new and it is hardly reasonable to talk about re-arranging house...
we are laying the foundation... How can we be expected to contribute like
old-timers. Yes, we are out of the policy making dialogue business because
we don't have the capacity right now and we have other priorities... You
can call it what you want, nobody will be mistaken... In practical terms,
NCSG policy is currently NCUC policy... BTW, I think the statement
suggested by Mary Wong is just fine... we can't wait to be full players and
don't expect to hold back anybody meanwhile until we do...
