The way E is written, it's the plan as of some future date.  As I
understand it, that's a plan that hasn't actually be adopted yet.  If
this were restricted to current already-operating plans, I would have
fewer reservations, but I would still take it to be outside the remit
delivered by the CCWG Proposal.  The operating and strategic plans
were not identified in the Proposal, and therefore the community
didn't consider the substantive question of whether that'd be ok.

Best regards,
