NCSG didn't charter the working party and I am not sure that word "housing" is the right term (unless I am mistaking in the meaning) , probably supporting is more appropriate here. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rafik <br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Apr 6, 2018, 3:18 AM avri doria <<a href="mailto:avri@apc.org">avri@apc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
