Hello Loa et al.,

In your response below, I noticed the deadline of March 30 2007, this is indeed very short. So I asked and received permission from the TSB to extend this deadline to the last working day before the SG13 plenary (i.e. April 13). This will give TSB time to upload the response as a TD for this meeting and gives you more time to prepare a response.

Kind regards, Huub van Helvoort (rapporteur Q5/13).
