As some of you have mentioned, we need to get this right.<br><br>Even if our group reaches consensus, we need to ensure that there community consensus on our recommendations. This is why - in our view - it is imperative that we present what we have to the community and get feedback from the community whether we are on the right track or whether we need to adjust. Getting such input and also the community’s feedback on potential legal implementation models is one aspect of our efforts to be as inclusive as possible.<br><br>We will provide you with further information shortly.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>León, Mathieu and Thomas</div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
