Hi Danny

Perhaps I should have read your wishy washy, doublespeak wording more
carefully.  You wrote:

The fact is that the DNSO Secretariat never had any intention of putting my
motion to a vote.  I doubt if you did either despite your misleading heading
"Motion Accepted".

If we can't even get an internal motion to a vote of the GA, what chance do
we have with something that has external implicatations.

So can we cut the crap and just write off the GA as a farce?

Best regards
Patrick
