I echo Avri's thanks, Debbie, and agree that NCSG should discuss whether it can support and endorse the comments submitted by the Red Cross.
 
Speaking personally, I would be happy to. 
 
In view of the fact that today is the last day, I guess the group's options are:
- Endorse in full (if sufficient members can agree) as an SG
- Endorse in part as an SG
- Endorsement (either in full or in part) by a group of members (starting with Avri, me and whoever else wants to sign on) identifying ourselves as NCSG members (or as non-commercial interests)
- No endorsement of any kind
 
It may be that the third option would be the quickest and easiest.
 
Cheers
Mary

Hi,

Thanks for writing and sending this.  Having just read it, I am wondering whether this is a comment that the NCSG would be willing to endorse?

Personally, and as a member of the VIWG, I ver much appreciate this comment and do hope we can endorse it.

Are any other comments in the offing?  

Today is the deadline.

thanks

a.
