Hi, Milton,

Wolfgang has presented his ideas in Barcelona last month. Kummer has made
it clear in his diplomatic way that Wolfgang's ideas are certainly
interesting but too elaborate and complex considering the 7 month time
frame. It has been my understanding that Wolfgang didn't pursue his
proposal any further.

We've been trying this morning to agree on the basic structure of
statement that could be presented to the plenary should the civil society
plenary tonight agree. Should Izumi, Paul Wilson and I succeed to draft a
statement we will post on this list this afternoon and ask for comments.

best, jeanette
