Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Harms Project Draft

[Baudouin SCHOMBE <b.schombe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello
I agree with Volker. From our side, it will take us some time to make
proposals for solutions approach because I have to make the French
translation of this document to allow my countrymen to react.
The list is not exhaustive but it is a very good job of starting with
elements of constructive feedback.
