Dear all
after reading the comments from Francois and in preparation for the zoom conference tomorrow, I felt the need to amend the text. Thanks for sending these comments, they help to sort out open questions!
I answered to the comments (see additional text attached) and agree that we should be more precise on the disclaimer. Since the petition is not only dealing with examples such as the barley, our concerns about CRISPR patents may need some refinement. See revised versions.
I think it is not necessary to explicitly mention the word 'disclaimer', because within the petition, there might not be enough room to explain it.
However, as discussed in our last zoom conference, there might be additional texts needed for explaining the petition. We could consider to explain the disclaimer in there.
I hope this helps,
cheers
Christoph
