I agree. It would be worth noting that we are taking no position on the merits of the application, only opposing GAC's attempt to make policy in the guise of 'advice' .

I can add a line stating that many organizations from LA oppose the applications

I do not believe we should say that some organizations oppose the applications - or that others support them. This is not relevant to the point being made, and distracts from it.

To be effective, stay focused, unemotional and professional.
