I don't see where in its comments the board said it would fail to
transmit the CCWG-A's output without modification.  Can you point that
out, please?

It seems obvious to me that, if the board transmitted a proposal along
with the observation that at least 2/3 of the board members do not
believe it to be in the global public interest, that would be a bad
thing.  But I'm not yet convinced the distance between the views is
unbridgeable, as long as we take everyone's efforts to be in good
faith rather than assuming they're attempts to force some view on
others.  We may yet fail, but there's no reason to fail early.

Best regards,

A
