[Stoves] The end user

[Paul Anderson]

Dear Paal and all,

While I agree with Paal, I point out one important additional element.

The need to have good stoves available for the end users.

The GACC is involved in many aspects of stoves, but one in particular is 
the stimulation of the supply of the stoves. Stoves PLURAL and of 
numerous types.   Which stoves, and where, and by whom are part of the 
basics that GACC is facilitating while not doing nor dictating.   Not an 
easy task.

So, linking Paal's comments and the GACC, should and can more attention 
to the end users be given by the GACC?   And if so, then how, when, etc.

Paul
