Parminder,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>pragmatic people with work to do, networks to operate, businesses to run, civil society to represent, and so on, tend to consider it positive enough that the situation is evolving and wait - or work - to see conditions improve.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As in other cases I have a testable proposition for you: you could build a platform based only on this concern and run for a position in an upcoming election to see whether and how much it may matter to others, esp. in comparison with the many other things
they have to care for.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Meanwhile, it is of the utmost importance to keep discussion lists open to all participations and that seems to be getting lost as this thread continues, so in the name of civility and democracy some parts of this thread may have to come to an end. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would an uttering of "quousque tandem [...] abutere patientia nostra" be an inappropriate extraterritorial request?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
