Thank you very much Bertrand,

I certainly agree that it is important for this WG to understand the
various national laws, because without those basic facts we cannot as
easily devise a policy that will allow accommodation to individual nations'
policies within their own jurisdictions.  To that end I have a few ideas in
response to Vittorio's very helpful comments which I will send soon.

I also thank Maria for her clarification today.

Participation in an informative manner that enables us to simply stay aware
of the variety of national policies is very productive indeed.

Best,
Dan
