I just received this email from the estimable Steven J Svoboda, it takes up the remainder of this post:

A team, the International NGO Coalition on Genital Autonomy (INGOCGA), has finished work in March 2022 on a core report on male circumcision as a human rights violation, which can be found here.

The core report is intended for use and adaptation by local activists in countries around the world wishing to submit a report to the UN on male circumcision as a human rights violation in their respective countries. We have already been working with local activists in Iceland and the Philippines and are actively searching for more local activists with whom we can collaborate and/or to whom we can provide the core report to support their work.

As previously reported, one of the team’s core members and most active participants was my friend Paul Mason, who sadly passed away in August 2018, after whose passing I took over as team leader. Included in this email is a picture of four team members, Antony Lempert, Avshalom Zoossmann-Diskin, Steven Svoboda, and Paul Mason, taken on May 7, 2018 at my home following the San Francisco Symposium. In addition to these four, Kira Antinuk, James Chegwidden, Lena Nyhus, and Tim Hammond also co-authored the report.
