Agree on both counts Chuck. My point here is that this is not something that 
has come out of the DT. This is a document that Jeff drafted in his own time, 
following a request from the GAC to have some supporting documentation.

To me, putting such a document out for public comment would be a step too far 
from standard procedure.

> 2012.
>  
> Please feel free to forward this report to the other members of the GAC as I
