1. ACTION TAKEN WITH THE BUREAU OF REFUGEE PROGRAMMES IN STATE. THEY AGREE THAT IT WOULD DE A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO PUT OUR CASE TO IGC MEMBERS INDIVIDUALLY IN THE MARGINS OF THE OCTOBER
EXCOM MEETING.
2. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT THE US WILL NOT BE INITIATING DISCUSSION WITH OTHER IGC MEMBERS ABOUT OUR APPROACH BEFORE THE OCTOBER MEETING. IT THEREFORE LOCKS UNLIKELY (UNLESS ANOTHER IGC MEMBER DOES SO) THAT WE SHALL BE ABLE TO JOIN IN THE
COLLECTIVE DISCUSSION AT THAT MEETING.
