In my view, this is outside the scope of WG4's review, and would be a dramatic introduction of such a broad topic so late in the AoC Review process. At best, perhaps it can be acknowledged as a topic for future reviews, but I don't believe it should drive any new Area 4 recommendations at this time.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks--</div><div><br></div><div>J.</div></span></span><br mce_bogus="1"></div></span></body></html>
