[Gnso-epdp-team] FW: Extension of time until August 24, 2020 for Minority Statements

Sat Jul 25 15:37:44 UTC 2020

In my humble opinion, everyone desirous of publishing a minority report
should have their texts written already. It is not like the latest changes
were so substantive as to change the meaning of the recommendations. If
there is a general problem with a recommendation, everyone could have
realized that weeks ago; months for some of the recs. To demand more time
now as a tool to force further delay seems to border on the abusive.

So my suggestion is: Have it ready by the deadline or forfeit your right to
have it included in the report.

Best,
