Dear Co-Chair

I request you to study the statement and allegation made against me by Mr. Muller  as indicated in colour

Tks

See Below

Greg and all members of the subgroup.

I support the draft with your edits in red, which are intended to accommodate the concerns of Arasteh Kavouss.

I oppose ALL the proposed additional text suggested by Kavouss (in light blue). That text adds nothing substantive to the recommendations and #2 in particular recounts a specific incident in needless detail that is not relevant to the section it is placed in.

 

I would remind us of the definition of rough consensus; it is clear that Kavouss’s changes have been proposed numerous times, we understand his reasoning, and yet they command _no support_ from anyone else. Therefore they can be left out of the report and we should proceed.

 

I would remind Mr. Kavouss that his repetitive and dilatory insistence on these changes is actually undermining our attempt to make progress on OFAC sanctions and are against the interests of people in his own country.
