Firstly let me apologise that this transmission to this list has been delayed... Those who attended the New Delhi meeting will understand when I tell you that when I returned to the venue hotel (after checking out of our ALAC accommodation), there was some difficulty getting a strong stable signal so I went down to the staff area to access the internet there (if it was working anywhere that should be the place) and transmit this final form of wording I got one copy off and then... You guessed it we lost the connection and no one was connected *sigh* Please note my personal and sincere appreciation to all those involved in the JPA discussions we had at our meeting, and particularly those who shared personal views, or those of their particularly ALS / Constituency, which allowed our Ad Hoc drafting subcommittee and the editors, to put together the wording of the key points of agreement in this document, for list discussion... Special thanks should be noted to those "volunteers" :-) Based on Feedback I received (while I was online and please note I am writing this email draft in the gate lounge during my short stopover in KL on my way home so have not logged on to the mail system yet... when I get to Sydney I have mobile 3G connectivity and this draft will queue and transmit) the attached wording has formatted to reflect as much of the views as possible but makes it very clear this is not a "consensus document" that there is great divergence in views on some aspects and that what we highlight is what we all agree are common threads of intent... I trust you will all appreciate the work done in the creation of this document and see it as a useful contribution to the process of the JPA Midterm review. I trust that many individuals, RALO's and ALS's also made their own independent submissions... Kindest regards, CLO
