[CCWG-ACCT] Issues with Providing Public Comments on CCWG-Accountability Proposal

Thu Dec 3 06:10:33 UTC 2015

Dear All,
Whether some of us likes or dislike, according to CCWG Charter, we must
seek advice from chartering organizations.
The only thing is the modality to get those advice from right source and in
time.
Regards
Kavouss
