    One of the risks in any approach you choose is that those of us who
    have been merely skulking on the lists will decide to object to
    something.  There are a couple of things where I don't like the
    compromise struck, but I am holding my tongue since I have not been
    working day and night for the past year on this stuff like you

                        to take precedence over other issues. I do
                        understand that those of us in the NCSG are a
                        bit unique in that we freely and individually
                        determine our own votes. For us, having F2F time
                        prior to the full Council meeting to talk about
                        our positions and concerns is very important.
                        Not all of our Councillors have been intensely
                        involved in the CCWG. That said, I would think
                        that other SG's and C's might want to talk
                        things over F2F before rendering a decision on
                        this very important matter as well. In fact,
                        ideally I'd delay the vote until our Tuesday
                        meeting so all of us have ample opportunity to
                        receive input from our members during earlier
                        Constituency and SG meetings before we vote.</span><span

                        That's not our job. Our job is to consider the
