Thanks for bringing this up again Avri. It is a serious issue, in that the
exercises of
creating a WG, which I will 'repeat' from what I said on the call this
morning,
is to get views of interested and contributing people so they provide
feedback to
the Council on what the Council needs to make its decision on.

Given that we understand the principles of the above, to suggest to throw
away an idea
that has 'support'  by any WG is throwing away the baby with the bath water,
which brings
me to the question of why we had a WG to begin with. None of us certainly
contribute
to this group by waking up at the wee hours for  any supported ideas to be
'deleted', at
the end.

Maybe there is a way that a preliminary report can be drafted in
a simplified way to present to
Council to highlight the issues, instead of anticipating Council's
weariness to reading a
long tiring report. Personally, I have always appreciated NCUCs matrix
format, to share
main ideas and get consensus.
.

kind regards,
Sophia
