Dear All,
Thank you very much for V5 Draft
Still many of my suggestions were not taken into account
e.g.
ICG is expected ... where as I clearly mentioned that we should not talk
about or refer to expectation rather talk about or refer to what should be
done either mandatory " shall "  or morally mandatory " should " or between
the two " needs to "
Quorums
What is the criteria used ," at least  one member from each communities"
 what are these communities quantitatively
We should always talk about number ( s) I suggested at least 2/3 or 4/5 BUT
CERTAINLY NOT 1/2since it is totally in appropriate that for such a
delicate ,sensitive issue 14 out of 30 disagree and still we take the
decision is valid.
Please look at all international law decision making process 2/3 is the
minimum

There are other examples that my points were not taken into account
Please kindly reconsider the matter and carefully examine them and proceed
Regards
Kavouss
