Hi,

I did not see 1a in what you contributed.  I saw 1 as establishing the criteria 
and mechanisms and 2 as reviewing existing practice.  the DAG proposal did not 
seem to to me to fall into either of those categories.

I think we need both 1a (call it 2 if you like) and 2 (call it 3 if you like).  
We need to review implementation proposals to determine whether they meet 
criteria established in 1 and we need to review current practice.  I hesitate 
to consider a proposal made by the implementation team as established practice. 
 tha might be a bad precedent. 

a.
