Thanks so much for those edits.

I will raise the issue of the minority statements today on the call  
and work out the fairest and best thing to do.  I had sent a note to  
the group saying that I was including the minority statements and  
Avri's comments as it appears.  From a personal perspective, I am not  
happy about the readability of the document with them included as is  
but I will wait for the group to decide.
