<div>Dear Wolf, </div>
<div>Thank you for your kind and prompt reply</div>
<div>I have made following amendments to your draft as follows:</div>
<div>Para. 4 a,second sub-para. second part of that sub-para ,&quot; is  &quot; is 
replaced by &quot; should be &quot; </div>
<div>Para. 4 b ,first bullet below sencond sub-para,</div>
<div>The part saying &quot; Consensus here refers to&quot;  is  replced by&quot; The 
above-mentioned &quot;  due to the fact that the paragraph to which this bullet 
referred does not deal with &quot; Consensus&quot; rather it referred to &quot; Decicion&quot; 
.</div>
<div>In the same bullet the phrase&quot; if needed may then be referred back to the 
relevant communities&quot; is replaced by&quot; which would be handled on a case by case 
basis &quot; This was the overall agreemnt that G11 reached after the ICG meeting in 
Istanbul .</div>
<div>Last page , in iii,</div>
<div>As a matter of fact, I am not comfortable in using any adjective like 
&quot;serious&quot; or &quot; firm&quot; or &quot;major&quot; to describe opposition . However, to be more 
cooperative I could reluctantly agree to use the adjective &quot; justified&quot; as such 
opposition needs to be submitted with necessary justifications .In that case the 
adjective  &quot; serious&quot; is replaced by&quot; justified &quot;  .</div>
<div>Moreover, in reviewing the text, I found some structural and content 
mistakes in para. c) ,second bullet which I have corrected </div>
<div>Finally  Under the same section c) in bullet 3 ,I suggest we replace&quot; 
example &quot; by &quot; option&quot; to be consistent with the terms used in bullet 2 above 
.However, I leave it to you to agree with that change</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope you and others agree with these small edits </div>
