- I think I would bid 2c first response as North
- The description of 3S could be tightened up to 1- clubs
- Should 4c even exist? If it does to me it should promise a 5th spade. To me the only possible bids over 3S ought to be 3nt (good clubs), 4S (5+ spade or 4 good ones not great clubs), 4H (4 spade, doubleton heart probably with honor, not great clubs), or 4D (4 spade, 4 diamond, bad clubs).

4C should be a slam try in spades, in case opener has extras.

One has to play in a Moysian fit with GIB every so often :)

High card points are everything for GIB (except when they aren't :P ) and 11 HCP is not enough to force to game.
