Hi,

While I am not saying that I have accepted this as the solution, if we get 
consensus on the same solution that existed in DAGv2, we would still not be in 
the same place as we were then.

We will have gone through the Policy process on a Policy issue with a diverse 
group of stakeholders and would have made a consensus recommendation. 

Though as I said in my comments on DAGv2, while the solution has a certain 
charm based on its simplicity, I still feel that it may be a bit too much in 
the one size fits all category and may lack some of the necessary 
considerations.  It will be interesting to see how it comes out in the polling 
against the categorial concerns.
