<div>Dear Kavouss,</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Calibri";font-size:12pt">your
perception of our discussion process simply does not meet it’s intention nor
does it meet it’s performance. I have not seen any ICG member quoting you in the
way you’re describing or accusing you due to any argumentation. We are all
coming up with opinions and arguments which we expect to be taken into
consideration.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Calibri";font-size:12pt">The only
real issue I have problems with is not the content of your arguments but the way
you try to push them through. It looks like imperative postulations as the 10
bullets in your attached email show. Those postulations do not admit
counter-arguments and are not helpful for the discussion.</div>

<div>let me first say that the discussion in the after-meeting-session
(“G11”) was helpful for better understanding as well as moving ahead
towards an agreement about the consensus building process. Thanks again to
Manal to sum up the essential points made. And thanks to Kavouss as the
G11 coordinator.</div>

comparison between the document version which has been on the table when

edited.</div>
