Re: [bc-gnso] Policy Item for 13-Jun-2011 BC Member call: GAC comment and remaining BC priorities

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

regrets for today's call.

but here's a thought...

the IRTP motion deserves our support -- i note that it's not "seconded" in the 
agenda.  please don't let it fail for lack of a second.   and vote for it -- 
it's an exact repeat of the recommendations of the working-group and represents 
two years of good/hard work by the WG and the community.

see you in Singapore.
