Like Laina and Anuradha, I have the same need for clarification as i  feel
there must have  been an oversight  about the education, academia and
research taskforce : it has a lot of members,  has an action line on the
follow-up and also a high panel debate on the theme. It seems shocking that
there is no representative coming out from that part of civil society...
