[CCWG-ACCT] A message from the Co-Chairs

Sun Feb 21 11:19:59 UTC 2016

Dear James,
You are right to say that we mnned to move forward
The course of actions was just for co-Chairs to find ways and means to
respond to the Concerns AND NOTHING ELSE.
I th don not therefore expect criticism or uinfriendly statement rather
thabn be just prepare to explore those wasy and means.
People may agree or disagree. that is all.
By the way the situation is eveolving from the last  call and we need to
be  mindful of what is happening.
NO ANGRY, NO CRITICISM AND NO ATTACK bjut just reflection.
Thank you Jame for your very friendly reply that I expect may be followed
by others
Regards
Kavouss
