[Gnso-epdp-team] Email discussion for THURSDAY meeting

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All,

What we are looking for?

Search in various dictionaries to verify

Whether «identifying " and "contacting» are defined? Or

Whether they could interchangeably be used

To identify and to contact are two different things

May you pls kindly advise
Regards

Kavouss
