Sorry Brian,

i just saw that my one pager was too sharply cut down to the last page
only. I think the first page is also important, while the second has
started moving with David Olive's report on public comments. I would be
grateful if we use the original version as per attachment, disregarding the
middle page.

Thanks

Carlos Raul

Thank you Brian for the opportunity. My justification as per attachment has
great advantage in hindsight over the original one pager, that many useful
discussion have taken place since I wrote it. In particular

   - my discussions with Steve Crocker over the BCG 2008 report on the
   Board (Olivier: I hope it is on the wiki)
   - lively activity in the GAC over the last few weeks as we look forward
   to Durban
   - Brain and Olivier's great practical contributions in the Work-streams
   calls over the last few days, to make us start thinking about our own ideas


The proposal relates directly to many other ideas, that I directly support

   - the letter to Governments (ongoing)
   - the case study on PDP effectiveness (Alan)
   - the need for metrics (Brian)

So I will refer in the spreadsheet to the other 3 proposals only, otherwise
I wont make the deadline...........

Best regards and a nice Sunday to all of you!
