[NCSG-PC] Fw: [Gnso-sc-budget] Budget FAQ posted

[Ayden Férdeline]

I should just note... I am chair of the SCBO so am rather constrained in what I can / can’t say on its mailing list. If other SCBO members would like to express support for CROP on its mailing list I think that would be useful in shaping our agenda for next week’s call. Who knows, we might even find support from the other side of the table if we have some good arguments...
