different degree. Which leads me to the conclusion that we are not in
agreement with the BGC recommendation and that we need further time to
refine our statement.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=765254709-27112007>Of course we can
strike out the entire section of working groups but that seems a pity if we are
all close to agreement and just need to get the words right.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=765254709-27112007>a) you support ONLY working
groups OR (like the BGC)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=765254709-27112007>b) you support
mostly working groups for big PDPs but want flexibility for other types of group
OR (Council's current wording)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=765254709-27112007>c) you want full
flexibility for WGS, TFs etc with no special preference for one over the other -
its best to decide per issue (more flexible than Council's current
wording).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
