Glad you made it there in one piece.

Since that is one of the motions on the Council?s plate in Marrakech, my answer would be ?yes?. In fact, I suspect (and hope) that this will take up the majority of the time of the meeting. My personal take on this is that I plan to vote as advised by the NCSG members who have been active on the CCWG, so if you fine folks could agree on how to advise the Councillors from NCSG, that?d be great.

More than a few people were asking that question. The flight from Washington was not particularly full of optimists in this regard.

I believe that to be a pretty excellent question. Surprised I haven?t heard it come up before.

Thanks.
