@metacosm Indeed, I am not holding my breath, but even if it is just posturing, it is still a good signal, and an accumulation of postures might accidentally result in concrete action. It is also one more reference/support in argumentation. It could also inspire other countries and institutions

@Armavica @metacosm I'd love to share your optimism.
