Milton what I’m responding to here is the possibility that the timing 
of the CCWG work makes the ICG’s mission impossible, and a complete 
waste of time for all.   I think it’s incumbent on all of us to look 
at contingencies and find ways for our work to proceed to a successful 
conclusion.

What we do and what we say are up to us as time goes on.  Surely under 
changing circumstances we can also adjust our position.  For instance by 
stating clearly with the submission (if the circumstances arise) that 
the CCWG work is yet to be finalised, and therefore the 
“ascertainment” will occur and be communicated at a later time.

Paul.
