[ALAC] Red Cross/IOC - Questions for Consensus Call - Reply due by September 26th

[Hong Xue]

I made a careful study on the legal status of both organizations, and
find that both IOC and RC are actually international Non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). So, if there could be a holistic solution (DRP
or else), it should cover all International Organizations (IOs),
including international NGOs and IGOs. If we stick to the term IGOs,
it could be no solution for IOC or RC at all.
