Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] African statement

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

I believe it is a citation of the inputs received, though i guess we could 
quote parts of it in the text.

I do not see it as our role to endorse it or not.  I also do not think that 
would fit into our charter.  I see it as input which is treated as input.
