We don't need no observers. It's not a matter of trust, it's a matter of diligence. In other words, I am not so much concerned that I (or we, the CCWG-Accountability Plenum) know what was said but, that the GAO knows what was said. el On 2015-04-02 11:48, Adebunmi AKINBO wrote:

Dear Co-Chairs,

There is nothing wrong with recording, transcribing and then agreeing on what was said, prior to publishing. Gives even an opportunity to correct mistakes...
I consider this NOT having dealt with my objection, and renew that you do NOT have consensus.
