RE: [gnso-consensus-wg] First Draft Consensus Group Report - Responses Please By 1900PDT-300UTC

Rob:
My advice is to follow your original schedule, try to revise based on existing 
comments, do what you can to anticipate Philip's concerns as best you can, and 
hope that nothing's wrong when we give Philip his look in the morning. If 
something is seriously awry at that point (and Philip should know that it needs 
to be serious) you tell the Board we've basically got an agreement but we need 
another day.

Your 0300 UDT deadline will be met by me *IF* there are no 
substantive changes in your report (and council size determination 
*IS* substantive).  I have a dinner party starting in a few minutes 
that I am cooking for, but will skip out in time to meet your 
deadline. And then I sleep for more than 5 hours for the first time in weeks.

If the Board is arrogant enough to say they will throw all this out 
if we miss the deadline by a few hours or a day, then perhaps I am 
volunteering with the wrong organization.

Sorry for being so blunt, but that is how I feel at the moment.
