Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Harms Project Draft

[Volker Greimann <vgreimann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Jeff,

excellent work compiling that list from all the different sources. I 
agree with your chosen format of listing the arguments as well. I hope 
everyone who still opposed anything beyond 15% will contribute their 
fears in form of more or less concrete harms as well, so we can start 
discussing solutions instead of problems.
