Thank you for the update. I would like to commend you for raising
this matter in the ICT Advisory Council and sharing the results openly.

I would like to suggest "publishing" the views of all the
representatives of consumers on issues which are said to have been
raised by consumers as the Information and Communication Technologies
Act states that those members are representing consumers. There is a
representative of the Joint Economic Council on the Council. Would
the person be allowed to report back views which have been expressed
on behalf of the Joint Economic Council or would the person only be
allowed to communicate the decision?
