Dear Marylin:
Thanks for your comments on this main session.
We (Susan, Baher, Constance and I) have developed a paper that I hope
clarifies some of your concerns. While addressing both issues might seem
somewhat ambitious, I think that it is essential to address the
inter-actions and inter-dependencies of both in a main session rather
than in smaller workshops / roundtables, where the impact of such a
discussion might passed unnoticed for a greater number of participants.
I really hope you don't see the initiative after reading this short
document as diminishing the importance of any of these two, but as a way
of addressing the actual complexity of the debate which you have pointed
out and which in the current IG landscape is certainly an issue that
merits a main session.
The link to the paper to the main session is here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cXOoLZMpaTprkBesl4XCs8Bh0034UpEI9xQM90N86M8/edit
Thank you once again for your remarks.
Best regards,
Carolina
