[CCWG-ACCT] yet another human rights question

[Gregory, Holly]

You can have us sit silently on the sidelines and wait for you to ask, which we largely do. (I am not convinced that is the best way to use our expertise and in fact I think it leads to larger problems at times.)  However, there are times when we feel we are not doing our job as counsel to sit idly by why you struggle with an issue and fail to ask the right question :)  :)  I offered to share the paper and I did share the paper.    You should have received.

SO:
Good question from the lawyers which i expect has its implications
;-), Well if this will help us achieve anything in this process fine,
otherwise i think we should be mindful of pushing stuffs to the
lawyers.

Great perhaps sharing that with those interested could could help save
some billable hours (thats assuming sharing is not billable ;-) )
