Re: [council] Request for clarification from IOC-RC Drafting Team
I agree that the question of keeping the DT active should be addressed by the
Council.
I am happy to add that to our next meeting's agenda, as a consent agenda item,
but it may be helpful if this discussion is started on the list before the
meeting.
